There's really no reason to hold in the clutch while at a stop light the entire time IMHO. The 1-2 seconds it will take to move your foot over and get started is not gonna avoid any kind of rear end collision.

I mean say you had your car in first and you look back and see a car at high speed coming toward you, you have these options;
A. Take the hit, after all it isn't your fault.
B. Ram the cars infront, or beside of you to get out of the way.
C. Go forward into the middle of the intersection while perpendicular traffic's light is green, even more dangerous.
D. Spin for a good 1-2 seconds while you are flooring your car to move into the side of the road. Given this whole process would take atleast 4-5 seconds, not enough time to even scratch your left nut.

Not to mention the chances of that happening are slim.

Plus my knee tends to **** me over when I keep the clutch pushed in for a long time.
