I am not sure I would practice that on the freeway ijs...

Why the brakes are applied is rather simple. As K. Code states in TOTW2, "Brakes are cheap, engines are expensive". Or specifically, use the brakes (not the engine) to slow/stop and use the blipping technique to rev match your engine rpm to your rear wheel travel speed. Not only will it be smoother but you will already be in the proper and ready to get right back up to speed to stay with traffic flow.

Be safe out there!
