    I also drive a stick, put the car in gear when you get to the light.

      I try to put it in gear shortly before the light changes, but sometimes the light is long and I don’t want to just ride my clutch while I sit there for a minute or more.

        Being clutched out is not “riding the clutch”. You can safely do that.

        “Riding the clutch” is when the clutch is used as “hill assistant” or as speed control at low speeds.

        Then shift into gear once the pedestrian’s light turns red or crossing traffic stops?

          I mean, I’m usually on top of it, but you can’t always game every light 100% of the time. Also, there’s no appeasing everyone.
