I not saying its totally the same, but the whole deal is about coordination and control. The design or placement of the pedal are done because most people are right handed and have little or no coordination with their left hand or foot. It all goes back to left handed equals sinister or wrong! However, if you grow up knowing only how to left foot brake you would not know that it was "wrong."

So if you can't dribble a basket ball with your left hand, switch hit or are otherwise ambidextrous it probably not a smart move. I played college baseball with a guy that pitched both games in double header, one right handed and the other left and won both of them to get his team to the 5A CIF championship So Cal. I doubt that he would have a problem left foot braking!
