Winter driving is easy, never do anything quickly, you don't accelerate quickly, you don't brake quickly, you don't steer quickly.
What I find most interesting, what do you see most in the ditch, 4wd SUV's.... People think 4wd's stop easier, they don't.
+1000! Same here. I used to do a lot of x-country skiing back in the 80s and 90s. What did I see in the ditches along the TransCanada leading to Banff and Kananaskis? You guessed it, 4wd vehicles. Overconfidence and possibly harder to steer, according to a mechanically inclined friend of mine. My best winter car ever was a Dodge Aries that was a bit of a lemon in every other respect.
