I can't imagine how they would have managed to taxi with a locked brake,
and
at any rate, since it was the left brake they reported having trouble
with,
a left turn shouldn't have required a 270 degree pivot to the right.

One: A Cessna 152 should NOT require brakes to make normal turns on
the
taxiway. Why did it matter?

Because the l brake was actually locked, and not releasing?

Two: Coast to a stop? Do you use brakes on every landing?

I don't, but one of my 'nightmare oops' would be to land with
1 locked brake. Since brakes are also my only steering and
since I don't have two engines to provide differential thrust
if necessary, I think such a situation would result in a
quick exit from the runway, depending a bit on which brake
it was.

Good to see you back,
