That's not true. If you couldn't decelerate when you got in a drift, you'd keep drifting forever until you hit something.

What is true, however, is that you're not driving as efficiently as possible. If you want proof that drifting isn't the fastest way around a track, watch the formula 1 guys. They're the fastest track drivers on the planet, and you'll never see 'em drift.
