Should I Shift to Neutral at a Red Light When Driving a K3?

Red light remaining a few seconds: Approximately 50 meters before the traffic light intersection, apply drag braking or intermittent braking to reduce the speed below 30km/h. Press the brake and clutch to stop the vehicle before the stop line, shift into 1st gear, and pull up the handbrake to wait. Long red light duration: Similarly, before entering the traffic light intersection, maintain a safe speed below 30km/h, press the brake and clutch to bring the vehicle to a stop, then shift into neutral and pull up the handbrake to wait. Traffic light starting technique: When the red light has about 3 seconds remaining, press the clutch and shift into 1st gear, then slowly release the clutch. When you feel noticeable vibration in the car body, hold the clutch steady, quickly release the handbrake, and slowly release the brake to start smoothly. If the speed is slow, continue releasing the clutch and gently press the accelerator to speed up. When the speed reaches about 15km/h, shift to 2nd gear and continue driving.
