This.
Stopped to offer to pull a dude out of the ditch on the Bolton access road, he immediately blamed his FWD car.
Uh, yeah. Sure, the drive wheels is why you went into the ditch on your way down the hill. Obviously this wouldn't have happened with an AWD car /s

Exactly. It amazes me how many people don't understand this and/or own an AWD car with no real reason to besides being convinced it's "safer", when honestly an AWD car could be more dangerous if you end up going faster because you have more traction than a FWD car while accelerating.

I always thought this too. This is just a lehman’s experiment, but it shows that 4wd stops quicker than fwd.
