Can vehicles with four-wheel drive skid?

  1. Yes, they can skid

  2. No, they cannot skid

  3. Only on wet surfaces

  4. Only during sharp turns

The correct answer is: Yes, they can skid

Vehicles with four-wheel drive can indeed skid. Contrary to popular belief, having four-wheel drive does not mean that a vehicle is unable to lose traction and skid. In fact, drivers of four-wheel drive vehicles should be even more cautious when driving in slippery conditions, as they may have a false sense of security from the added traction. While it is true that four-wheel drive can greatly improve a vehicle's ability to maintain traction, it is not invincible and can still skid in situations such as ice or heavy rain. Additionally, sharp turns can also cause a four-wheel drive vehicle to skid, just like any other vehicle. So, while having four-wheel drive can be beneficial in certain situations, it does not guarantee immunity from skidding.
