2) Left foot breaking would cause you to fail license test.
3) For normal road use there is no reason to left foot brake as there is no reason to be on both break and accelerator at the same time.
4) Being on both the brake and the accelerator can't be good for the gear box and brakes etc. This is probably acceptable in a race car, but for your road car do you want to introduce unnecessary wear?
5) Resting the left foot on the brake is normally enough to cause the brake lights to be on 100% of the time, which gives following traffic no indication of when you actually plan to stop, this can lead to you being held at fault for being rear ended.
6) I don't think what you do on the street relates to the track at all, if it does you should probably slow down.
7) There should be no need to control over steer if you are driving sanely on the road.

1) Well, DERRR!!!! Sometimes it's unavoidable, like when, it's at work!
2) Yeah? They suggested it was a good thing (if you know what you're doing) at the Jim Murcott's advanced driving course I did...
3) 99.5% of the time I'm only on one or the other - it just eliminates action/reaction time when getting on the brakes/throttle.
4) As above, both are deployed TOGETHER less than 1% of the time - usually only lightly when crossing from go! to whoa!
5) Who rests their foot ON the brakes!?!? I "perch" my foot angled on the SIDE of the pedal-rubber, so that it doesn't actually move the pedal, or apply any brake pressure.
6) You don't have to be sliding to practice/utilise weight transfer and being smooth. Do you actually have any idea what's involved with driving something quickly?
7) You kinda have a point there - but I don't think it's as you intended . . . For sure, if you're left-foot trail braking with throttle modulating turn-in oversteer, then yes - you're WAY, WAY, WAAAAYY too committed for public roads ! ! ! I use L.F.B. to reduce UNDERsteer, mainly with the occasional mid-corner dab/squeeze.
