I'd be reluctant to try that on some of the mountain ranges  around here!
An additional observation is that most of the vehicles in the  ditch, on 
their sides or upside down are FWD SUV's and has been commented  on by the 
state patrol.

my Brother - who actually owned a Corvair at one time - Had an all-wheel  
drive Audi in New Hampshire. He told me that, at the early snowfalls, the 
first  cars into the ditches and snowbanks are the 4WDs, cars and trucks. Their 
 drivers forget that the four wheel power gives added traction to  
accelerate, but only the same four wheel brakes as  the slower 2-wheel  drivers to 
stop. Oops!
