I've tried braking with the engine off in slightly downhill stop-and-go traffic - the boost was gone after stopping twice from less than 20mph.
The third time came as a surprise.
No more boost, and hardly any braking no matter how hard I stood on the brakes.
If the engine ever fails, I'm slamming on the brakes and keep my foot planted until it's stopped.
