    general point of advice, try to use engine braking as much as possible, where it is safe. engine will last a lot longer than brake pads.
    Caution advised! Only do that if you have a maual. If you try with an fully atuo it won't work even the ones like our with paddle !!!!!! as you are more likey to do in the auto box.
