If it matters, some states regs say you must not put a vehicle in neutral at a red light. If it matters... It depends on the intersection and if I'm cold. Most times I pull the clutch in and hold it.

Leave it in first gear and keep an eye on your mirrors. You need to be ready to get out of the way and you can't do that if you're in neutral.

So you keep moving, or do you just sit there burning your tire?

Naw, it was a legitamate question. I guess that makes you wrong about being wrong. LOL I agree that the stupid question is the one that never gets asked. Just gotta be careful around judgemental people.
