It's not that I disagree with this because it's true that you aren't taught to engine brake but being the twat of a pedant I am, I wanted to point out that engine breaking is indirectly covered in the clutch control part of the driving syllabus. I.e don't engage the clutch for longer than necessary because you lose the ability to engine brake. It's in the highway code too. Pedantic and half relevant I know, but that's me.
