left foot braking is only good for emergency stops or when your attempting to launch yourself into flight via the windscreen

Surely thats only if you're stupid enough to stamp on the brakes.
Left foot braking is just to keep the power going to the engine while you're braking so when you stop breaking, the power is basically instantly available.

Its much harder to control pedal pressure with you left foot, its more used to just nailing the clutch to the floor then controlling pressure on the way back up. No need to be doing it on road realistically, is a good laugh when you try it though!

When Johnny Vegas was on Top Gear he was left foot braking in that Suzuki thing without even realising!
