I want to see the people who cycle the clutch twice at a red signal.

When stopped you have two options in a car, sitting with your foot on the clutch (which is flat out bad) and putting the car in neutral.

Putting the car in neutral is basically one meaningful action - changing gear, yes you have to depress the clutch move the gearstick to neutral and then let the clutch go - but to describe that as "cycle the clutch twice" is madness. Am I missing something?

You have to take it back out of neutral, making two cycles of the clutch.

No madness involved.

Most people in the UK? At least, if they want to pass their driving test.

If I'm expecting to stop more than few seconds, I put my car in neutral. Every time. For last, let's see, 28 years since I have my driving license.

What else is there to do? I don't text in the driver's seat, putting the gear in neutral gives my limbs something to do.

(It happens to involve the clutch, but that is "automatic", as in "muscle memory", even though I drive less than once a month)

Hi. I do this all the time if I'm going to be stopped for more than 2-3 seconds.

You can often take it out of gear without the clutch.
