Even in the real world, you can get very close to zero brake usage. On a good day, I can do my 10 mile commute with 5 brake applications. 4 stop signs and one when I park at work. On a bad day if I hit red lights that adds 5 more for a total of 10. If I'm looking ahead and anticipating correctly, I can almost guarantee I'll arrive at a green light.
