People have gone FULL RETARDED

The problem is people with 4x4 have an increased confidence level, and increase there speeds while decreasing their alertness.

Zambonies are 4x4 for a reason. I drove from Houston last Friday in and out of 4x4 over bridges to test the control, and felt a noticeable difference. I've also lived in the northeast, and drove cross country quite a bit in icy conditions - I'll take 4x4 any day.

In a controlled environment while maintaining identical safe driving practices, the 4x4 will perform better than rear wheel only in my experience.

Didn't say that it doesn't help... just said that i get a laugh from folks who think that 4x4 is a cure-all for driving on ice.

with that said.. the majority of 4x4 systems on trucks are actually 2wd ie. front right and left rear have power... only when you have a full limited slip differential system do you really have something close to 4x4.

none of it really helps on ice without something to grip into the ice... (stud tires or chains) but you can make do in an emergency... just keep it SLOW SLOW... (i wouldn't cross a bridge doing over 20mph today for anything)
