Re: How Fast Using 4H?
Not using four wheel drive in slippery conditions means I don't
lose steering control on deceleration.

Re: How Fast Using 4H?
Yes.
In western Canada it is too cold for salt to work so once the roads have
a snow pack you don't see pavement until spring. Makes for really nasty
ruts and ice 'pot' holes.
Here in southern and in eastern Canada we get ice storms. Day after day
of freezing rain and slush. Almost 2 weeks straight a couple of springs
ago. The gent I work for had me follow his service truck in my Jeep so
we could for sure get there and get out. My Jeep got paid those days.
LOL!
That is why we don't flinch about driving close to 100 kph or 65 mph in
snow, it is the norm in lots of places. The places that get the 100%
snow pack have surprisingly low accident numbers too. You know to leave
room, everyone does. It's places that hover around freezing that are
the most dangerous. The idiots think 'all season' means they have
winter traction.
