That's what I thought too until I started practicing this. Probably 75% of the time no one comes into the lane. It takes some practice to find the correct gap size.

Besides saving your clutch, you can do this type of brake-early maneuver at stoplights. Decelerating early and coasting at a lower speed means you don't have to stop and can increase your gas mileage significantly.

I do it for stop signs, too, so I only have to stop once. Especially if it is uphill.
