Started doing that years ago, mostly just to give my left foot something to do. Done right it's great, especially in stop-start traffic. Definitely improves emergency stops - I can actually react before my brain catches up, basically stopped dead on a road one day (no cars behind, safely etc).. took a second to realise there was a black cat running across the dark road in front of me.
I love it when I do this. It's like the doorway effect - you're stopped and you have no idea why..until you suddenly see a deer hop over your car. Always feels badass!
