As someone once said on here, it sounds like when you close the breach on a shotgun, "Doom" style. I always think of that when going into first at lights, the louder the better for me!
If I engage first (from second) at anything faster than a crawl too it feels like I'm going to lose a wheel, or a leg, or both.
We have a really bizarre corner up here that has a give way on - it's possible to take in 2nd, but sometimes I click down (some strange habit?)Another example might be in slow moving traffic that I think is going to stop - click in to first ready. Again, maybe a strange habit to do it before I stop - maybe just laziness to get it changed before I put my foot down.
