Sometimes it’s shifting gears. Clutch leg can get annoyed in heavy traffic. So, foot off the clutch, out of gear at a light for a little sigh of relief. Probably takes an extra second or 3 to get going. No phone involved.

In 2024 that’s increasingly rare and I can usually see them using their phone plain as day from behind.

You can switch gears when you see yellow light already so you don't lose green light time. It takes me something between 0.5 to 1 sec to switch to first gear when my foot is at rest (not counting reaction time).
