I only use left foot braking when I play Grand Turismo. Basically, only when I'm racing.

I had a grandmother that would go through a set of brakes in less than a year because she always had her left foot on the brake and they were always dragging.

I don't see how it could substantially increase reaction time unless the foot was actually resting on the pedal, in which case it is generating braking force.

Isn't left foot braking how burnouts are done? I've never had a vehicle powerful enough to do one.
