If 1G, is stationary, then 0G, would be weightlessness. So, if you are accelerating really hard and then brake, you experience negative G, is there a point where you experience that weightlessness? Kind of like that feeling, you get at the top of a roller coaster, like you say.
No, when you brake you experience 1.XXG of deceleration (unless you hit a bump and the car starts to float)

Experiencing less than 1g would when you do a hump back bridge at about 30mph and you get that weightless moment where your neither going up or going down and your briefly weightless, well lighter anyway.

you can also experience some good positive G on roads with a big dip. an example of this is the A27 as you come from southampton on the M27 and it becomes the A27, it goes up hill, round to the right then in a massive dip thats gotta be 40-50 meters deep, you go down steeply for about a quater mile and then up for a quater.

If you hit it at 90mph+ as you go from going down to going up you feel the car pushed into the floor and will find it harder to breathe in (especially at silly speed)
