Don't know where you learned that from but IRL it doesn't work that way, I know this from experience and physics class. It takes traction to stop, a skidding tire has less traction than a rotating tire regardless of terrain. Think about it the other way around, when someone takes off from a light and burns rubber to show off or whatnot how fast do they really get moving compared to the person who takes off without burning rubber. Point being without traction you can't get moving or stopping.
