What is there to be confused about? I am in front of them, in the lane, balanced and waiting (as they are) for the light to turn green or for the car in front of me to proceed. I have already signalled that I'm braking,
and I am claiming my rightful spot as a vehicle on the roadway. I think the idea that I need to also put my foot down implies great stupidity on the part of drivers, and if that's the case I want to be clipped in and ready to move as soon as the light goes.
