Riding the clutch

[ernie van nalts <ernievn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My wife drives an E36 318 manual transmission and I drive and E39 528
manual transmission.  She has told me that at stoplights she holds the
clutch in untill the light turns green.  I told her that is wrong but I
can't explain why.  Can someone explain why it is wrong to sit on the
clutch pedal at stoplights?

Thank you,

Ernie
