To say AWD is safer Is
To say AWD is safer Is misleading and dangerous if not understood. Your article acknowledges the AWD does not help you brake better or turn better but unfortunately the majority of people don’t realize that . The main thing AWD is better at is accelerating but that’s usually not something you need to do to avoid an accident. AWD operators unfortunately have a false sense of security because of the gripping acceleration but after that it no different than front wheel drive. SUV S also have a higher center of gravity therefore more likely to loose control and possibly flip during a evasive maneuver. In snow conditions I think it would be more accurate to say AWD is more convenient but a front wheel drive sedan with good tires will be safe And won’t give you a false sense of security because you’ll realize when you’ accelerate how slippery it is and go a little easier..
