Dear student,
Yes, the car applies resistance due to its inertia of motion. That's the reason why brakes have to be applied, if brakes are not applied the car would move for some distance even if foot is lifted from the accelerator due to inertia .
Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
