Isn't it wonderful when you have to pay for another's mistake?!

A hard downshift in an awd car is way different than in other cars all 4 tires slow down and provide a ton of braking , but that's in the dry . In the snow ya all cars stop the same or not at all. Most 4x4 split power differently than an awd car , they have open center diffs and send power to the wheels that are slipping usually the back wheels . When you have limited slip center diff it sends power to the wheels with grip and is also usually front wheel biased 60front 40 rear spilt for example . In my Subaru I have a heck of a time getting the rear to swing out in the snow , it just grips and takes off in a straight line , no fun at all.

yes, this happens, but not every single time. I dunno.. I'm also a fairly slow (by Calgary standards) driver and rarely in a hurry to get anywhere so it doesn't bother me :-)

I wish I have the patience of yours. I get extremely ****ed whenever I see idiotic drivers and just try to run away from them
