Does it damage your clutch if you wait at lights with it depressed and the gear lever in first gear?
I’ve heard the ‘cogs’ in the gear mechanism are still engaged even when the clutch pedal is fully depressed and could lead to wear.
If the car is of a very old type it may have a carbon thrust (release) bearing this would rapidly wear if you keep the clutch down. Newer cars have a roller bearing type which do not suffer wear so much, though treatment of this kind will eventually wear it out,especially if it was badly made in the factory.
The biggest point, however, is safety, if you get hit up the rear your feet will fly off the pedals and regardless of weather your hand or foot brake is on you will fly forward into the car in front or your foot could slip off the clutch with the same effect
As far as being slow away from the lights, if you learn to watch the lights in the other direction or the actions of other drivers you can anticipate when the lights will change and not hold up the impatient s*d behind. As a passing point, give plenty of room between you and the car in front when stopped in traffic,if the guy in front stalls and can’t get started you can drive around him!
