Yeah, I didn't properly understand how a clutch actually worked before I helped my family rip some bushes out of the ground with a small tractor some time ago. I usually stalled the engine when I was forced to stop, as I would forget to push the clutch in. I was also somewhat shocked that I just got to partake in traffic after driving around for 30 minutes in a rather empty area. The hardest part was when I went into a neighborhood where almost half of the road was taken up by parked cars. My instructor and I were very satisfied with how it went, and I also found it fun, even if it was stressful at times.
