But officer, I have 4WD.Â*Â* Most of the probably could have delayed
the trip for another day, every one of them could have slowed down.

Yup, easy-peasy to drive on snow/ice (flat terrain).Â* Just drive
30-50 mph and don't tailgate.Â* Sure, 30 mph sucks but it sure beats
0 mph in the ditch and a trip to the body shop on a flat-bed.


Ditches fill up with 4WD drives first.Â* People just don't learn that
4WD or AWD does not stop a vehicle any faster.

I often speak with people who have the false sense of security with
the belief an SUV or AWD vehicle will prove better on ice. They
ignore the reality that no amount of drive system or type of tire
will stop on ice.

Â*Â* Studded tires do OK ... and chains work even better . I have a set
for both vehicles - though I really needÂ* a second set for the truck
since it's 2wd . The 4Runner is 4WD , it goes wherever I point the
front tires .


Many states ban studded tires and chains. The people in the states that
allow it are usually too lazy to install and remove them based on
weather changes.

That's right. Studs are banned here and I can't remember last time I
saw chains. Snow tires help but my point is that all vehicles have
brakes on each wheel and stop just as fast as those with FWD/AWD.
