and also, provided you give yourself the proper following distance you should have plenty of time. | guess it's a difference in definition, to me emergency stops are when a squirrel runs out in front of ur car and u have to stop within a few meters.

On the track at my PDC events every instructor told me to keep both hands on the wheel, and make smooth quick shifts like you're holding an egg. It takes no time at all to reach down for the shifter and clutch in if you need to.
Of course, when I'm on the street, I'll sometimes rest my hand on the shifter just for a change of feel.

i smell fc already.
Even if you heel toe it only applies to down shifting at a safe distance with plenty of time. Heel toe does not apply to emergency stop.  | |
