When white stuff hits the ground, having four-wheel or all-wheel drive is an unmitigated blessing, right?

Wrong.

"When snowstorms hit, people who have all-wheel drive become overconfident," says Russ Rader, spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. People drive faster than they otherwise would. Yet all-wheel drive doesn't help them stop quicker.

"It's not a safety system," Rader says. "It's a system to keep you from getting stuck."
