I remember trying that in the past, but found that adding another thing requiring coordination was too much for my simple brain.

Thanks for your answer on braking vs. downshifting. Frankly, I always thought downshifting was good for control and to prevent wearing the brakes. Never did I consider that I'm adding wear elsewhere on the car!
