do most just leave it in N if they know the vehicle's gonna be stationary for more than few seconds?
feels bad killing left-turn lights

Clutch in at light is recommended for the lowest common denominator of driver, just like going 50.
N at stop lights for me, been driving manual for 15 years and never had a single issue. Always been paying attention at stop lights even when stopped, how long does it take to get going from a stop in neutral? 0.5 seconds max, still get going faster than automatics.
Ever seen someone launch a car into the back of another car because they accidentally let go of their clutch after holding onto it for 3 minutes? I have, lol
