I can honestly say that MOST of the vehicles we see in the ditch here are AWD/4x4 equipped. There is a false sense of security that = driving too fast for conditions for some people (AWD/4WD does not allow one to stop faster...since those vehicles are heavier they actually require more distance to stop, not less). For those of us who drive appropriately for the road conditions, we will get where we need to go by driving smart and adapting to wheel slip properly (I don't like traction control because it kicks in AFTER I have already taken my foot off the gas and changed gears. It's too-little-too-late and actually makes it more difficult for me to keep my car from sliding).
