One thing I noticed over 35 years as an over the road trucker, at the first snowfall or bit of ice on the roads, MOST of the vehicles in the ditches or upside down in the median were SUVs, and 4WD pickups. 4 Wheel Drive DOES NOT allow you to drive like a maniac on slippery roads! Once you break traction, it doesn’t matter HOW MANY DRIVING WHEELS YOU HAVE, you are gonna slide! PERIOD!!!
