Well sorry i'd disagree, clutch in = no drive = no control, its a balance to prevent it locking up, but i'd rather have my wheels driving all the time....if i were coming down a long straight on gravel into a tight corner i'd be through the box with no clutch......slow it down on the brakes and via engine braking.....
