How good has it been having a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the recent snow? Oh yesssss!

well seriouslt well done for using it, I was only posting a few days ago about how many numpties didn't know how to drive them in the snow, even though that is their forte! So seriously, well done.

I've been able to get out in my Honda when husband and neighbours couldn't in their cars. The main problem is with other cars faltering on gradients and skidding and then blocking the roads. Although my car could cope with the snow on the roads I was very aware that I could've been hit by another vehicle so I have only done necessary trips.

I had one wheel drive for the snow.
I was on my mountain bike however. Coped well with the conditions.

I've been out in my two wheel drive in deep snow, and had no problems at all.

i live at the top of a very steep hill, and because of the lack of grit and salt it has been really treacherous, I have on two occasions had to pull someone up the hill with mine,
Although I do have the faccillity to lock three out of the four wheels.

My quattro took me out everyday.....even thru puddles which hampered other smaller saloons.

I drive a 2 wheel drive pick -up truck, it was a bastad to drive in the snow, luckily the cyclist I ran over accepted a lift to the station and jumped in the back putting weight on the axle and it was ok
