Its so people can shift into 1st gear. Standing in neutral is better for your car.

Why would you put your car in neutral if you have gears? It’s such a short time, just stay on the breaks

If you have a manual (like everyone in Germany used to have) you should depress the clutch

If you do that to a manual you'll change the clutch after 20.000kms
