You are waiting at a traffic light with the motorcycle under control. Why stay in first gear?
Correct answer: So you can move promptly if a safe escape becomes necessary.
First gear keeps the motorcycle ready to move when needed. Continue checking traffic and maintaining space; being in gear does not itself guarantee an escape.
