Depending on the transfer case and axles type, 4 wheel drive puts the engine power on as many as 4 wheels. That's good when you want to push the vehicle through uneven or slippery surfaces.

What will happen if you have too much Nitrous Oxide in your vehicle?


In a skid, you have lost friction on one or more wheels, so adding engine power (or using the engine to brake) won't help much.

Tire tread depth on a Greyhound Motorcoach?


To end the slide, you need to regain friction with the ground and tires. A stability control system, which has steering, vehicle direction & acceleration inputs as well as speed sensors for each wheel, can independently apply and release the brakes to any wheel much faster than any driver can, and will provide exceptional skid control.

Are you supposed to brake in the snow and ice any differently with ABS brakes?


The other way is to use tire chains.

When tailgating someone who is already going 15 MPH over the speed limit do you feel like your impressing...?

it doesn't help you while breaking and skidding, but it can help you stay in control to begin with and avoid the need to skid and break.

what kstrucker said!

I drive a small truck. How much overhang is permitted on loads?

For ME, it's a life saver out in the desert, where 2WD vehicles fear to tread. 4X4's can get stuck too in real deep, loose sand, but not as quickly as a 2WD.

This is what 4WD was invented for. NOT for preventing skids.

I've just bought a two seater convertible?

As a person who survived from an accident in a jeep (4x4 Isuzu Trooper) which two people died and two people injured due to skid on rain I say that the driver and his or her knowledge on the vehicle is the most important thing. Most of the people are aware that 4x4's have strong motor brakes (compressions) which may start a skid without touching the brakes. So learn the nature, your car more and adopt yourself to different conditions. Dont expect to much from offroad vehicles.

4-wheel drive does not mean 4-wheel stop. However, situations that would normally stop another vehicle wouldn't likely stop you.

traffic lights or roundabouts?


Even on a 2-wheel drive vehicle, you don't have 2-wheel drive. You have 1-wheel drive that can be either 'this side' or 'that side'. All-wheel drive is the same thing, but you have 4 possibilities instead. The computer will sense which wheel would get the least amount of slip, so it diverts power to that wheel.

Should we abolish speed limits?


With 4-wheel drive, all 4 wheels are simultaneously turning. If you're in the mud or snow, where your traction is impaired, the 4x4 wouldn't likely be stuck.
