    And 4x4 and AWD only help you accelerate.

    They don’t do anything when you try to decelerate.

      It’s 4-wheel drive, not 4-wheel stop. (Ok, technically brakes can be on each wheel, but that still won’t help in sufficient lack-of-friction)

      True, but that’s what ABS is for. People don’t generally have issues in town. It’s when on the highway that people get stuck and unable to get out.

        I’ve definitely been going 10 mph in city, signaled to turn, tried to slow down, and just coasted past my turn because that’s how fresh snow over ice behaves. That’s with traction control and ABS.
