TIP - A Safe Winter Driving Tip From the Nova Scotia RCMP
Know The Limits Of Your Vehicle
Many times, motorists driving four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles feel safer because of the improved traction and additional ground clearance. It's important to keep in mind that stopping ability is not improved. Four and all-wheel drive vehicles can reduce your chances of getting stuck, but they won't help you stop any better during slippery conditions.
