The Car at Signal!!

I haven't driven ever in my life... but what happens when a car starts after a long time and it gets stuck at signal... waiting to rev up the engine and "step on the gas"... isn't it frustrating??? Especially, when you are excited to go out on a long long journey and waiting for signal to turn green... And what you are left with is a colorful guide book and some maps how the journey looks like... So annoying!!!!!!So much apprehension!!!!
