If you're driving stick, then that actually is pretty effective - you can come very close to stopping (or stop) without using the brakes if you know how to drive it. I sometimes do that when people behind me are f'ing with me (as long as they're not
too close).
Not that that would hold up in a court, of course, just saying...
