Careful With Your New 4×4!
Saturday, December 1st, 2007It’s snowy out there and many people will be driving a new 4WD (or all-wheel drive) vehicle in slippery conditions for the first time.
Every first snow a few of these vehicles end up in the median on their side or top.
So REMEMBER: 4WD helps you GO.
It doesn’t help you STOP or turn.
When you hit the brakes or turn the front wheels, it doesn’t matter that you can send power to the front hubs. If the tire can’t produce friction, it will slide–off the turn or into anything in your path.
Drive smart. Don’t go faster than surrounding traffic. Take the time to learn the difference between 4WD and 2WD performance in snow.
