Maybe it's something we should all do.
It's something that's recommended in "Roadcraft", but I'd never actually done it before and I doubt many road users who haven't done specialist training have done either.
TBH, given that you have to practice and demonstrate that you can do a safe emergency stop for bike and car tests, it wouldn't be at all difficult to include in a lesson, ie rather than just "ok drive/ ride along until I indicate that you should do an emergency stop", make it "if you did an emergency stop at 30mph right next to that lamp post, where do you think you would finish up? Ok, let's see..."
All I know is that I now know something useful that I didn't know before
