(UK, informal) The assignment of a property to a tax band by an estate agent who evaluates the property while driving past it.

Origin: From the notion that the agent not only is doing a drive-by evaluation but also is not even necessarily doing it slowly: second gear rather than first gear (low gear). Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
