Q: tetraethylleadremovethis@yahoo.com brent p wrote ive seen it all on this road and many 4wd vehicles are a big safety problem due to their inferior handling compared to a mid sized fwd car. they shouldnt drive as fast as the car traffic but they try to drive faster often with disastrous results. ive seen 4wd vehicles suddenly lose a curve even while just going along with the traffic. thats nice... trendy suv driving idiots in the ditch... yes weve all heard and seen it before. not just trendy most of the large truck based 4wd vehicles are driven poorly on our roads. gm who shut down their camaro production knows where those buyers went. the actual figures on our very dangerous road to whistler are this slightly over 50% of vehicles are truck based 4wds. about 90% of the vehicles involved in accidents are those 4wds which they usually cause by sliding over the center of the road or sliding into the ditch. more than once the police reports after a big snow say this it snowed so heavily the cars bogged down on the road while the large 4wds continued on at fast speed until several of them went off the road usually ending up on their roof. the road had to be closed longer than desired because it took so long to pull the damaged 4wds out of the ditch. in the late 80s i hit glare ice braking to turn into the whistler village my chrysler lebaron without abs locked its wheels on the slightest touch of the brakes but it maintained its straight ahead track and i was able to slow enough to turn off the highway. and somehow you think this due to some fwd magic.... heres a hint it wasnt. the rear of your fwd lebaron is even more lightly loaded and thusly more prone to locking before the front wheels than that of a rwd car. the difference is proportioning in whatever far older vehicle that you expected to have the ass swing around with the slightest touch of the brakes in and has nothing to do with which end is the drive wheels. all my fwd cars including rentals have continued straight ahead when the wheels locked on braking. now with abs locking is history. i cant say that about my past rwd cars and ive seen trucks do a 180 more than once. you just dont want to accept facts too bad your brain is locked in reverse. .
