Maybe going key-off at a red light is more common than I originally presumed.

I still can't say I'm convinced it's a good idea though.

I'm confused here. Are you saying that you bump start 5-10 seconds BEFORE coming to a complete stop? As in coasting for 5-10 seconds before a stop but after a bump start?
