If your clutch is inoperable it can be used to temporarily get around or bring the car to the shop for repairs.

Also, if you are physicially handicaped for the time being (broken leg?) youll be able to still drive.

Sprained my ankle in the Army and had to get back home to swap out my my manual Yaris for the wife's auto (then) Jetta. Only difference was I started the car in 1st, while depressing the clutch with my right foot. Then got going by letting off the clutch enough for it to start idling forward and switching to the gas from there.

A good skill to have, but definitely not one I'd want to use all of the time!
