We where told (though this is the UK, so we drive on the left) to put your left down so that if your foot hits one of the many oil puddles that litter our roads, and slips, you don't fall into traffic.

That's a decent reason, but having your right foot on the brake is probably better for hill start and stuff. Also helps settle the bike a lot when filtering.

Revelation:

Wind-proof balaclavas are the absolute poo poo for winter riding. Completely superior to those lovely fleece neckwarmers. Doesn't restrict your movement, much warmer, and as a bonus it makes your helmet quieter too. Best 35 bucks I've spent in a while.
