To add, i mostly drove stick. For the most part i never used the brakes untill i was going slow enough and had to come to a complete stop. I would always downstift and keep doing that till in first gear about 1000 rpms.

Also, to add more for stick... it is possible to not use the clutch. Not sure how bad it is, i have heard stories from my uncle, and i did try it a little. I do not suggest trying it unless you have a good idea of what you are doing. This can ruin the clutch/trains if done wrong. It also works for downsifting but it is harder. To do this, you basically have to match the speed of the trans to the engine. Once they are matched up, it will slip into gear. It does not require a lot of force, you are not really forcing it in either. I did it with a 94 Hyndaiu Scoupe (mostly drove this) and i could do it almost all the time with pratice. To downsift it is harder as you have to step on the gas to raise the rpms of the engine. I also did it with a 92 pathfinder. For that i mostly applied a little force wen sifting and it went in when it was ready, the 94 i had to do it a lot quicker and i worked off timing for it.
Downside: do it wrong, it can grind the gears and do a lot of damage.

Also, hard to do, but if you have a car that stales when stopping, step on the clutch normally, and i fund it eaiser to just use my right foot to control the brake and step on the gas enough to keep the engine going, but do it carefully since the more you step on brake, he more likely you are to step harder on the gas too. Also, if you NEED to stop quickly, let it stall, just go for the brake and forget everyting else.

I adivise you that if you are going to try any of this, do so in an area that is controlled, with no one else around. Just be smart and do not put your life in danger or anyone elses. Also, i am warning you, some of this can damage your car, as the person above me, i gave you a lot of warning, so please do not hold me accountable for anyting either. Some of this, is do so at your own risk.

Also, just courious, i never had a problem yet, but maybe some one else knows. When you stoped useing the tranny, and no brakes, there will be no brake lights even if they work. Is it possible for a cop to bother you about that?
