Yeah, I agree, which is why I coast. As well as the fact that I suck at heel and toeing so when I downshift the car jerks a crapload.

Heh! You need some practice! Just slowly lift your foot up and find the friction point.

Some idiot starts reversing out of a drive beside you? Some idiot pulls out from a parking space beside you?

Frankly, what does down-shifting do other than waste fuel on the heel-toe? If you are in a position where you need to stop fairly quickly, you probably don't have time to down-change. If you have plenty of time, friction (in the drive train) will do most of the slowing for you.

+1 for the exact same reason. I have had my fair share of close calls with idiots when approaching lights/intersections/corners.
