I don't think it's something that's really suitable for road riding, as it's a bit risky with unknown grip levels and potential death by car if it goes wrong! But learning it on the track teaches you a bit of feel for how hard you can brake mid-corner, should the need arise. I reckon it's quite hard before it does go wrong, so long as you don't just jam it on.
