Perhaps if a vehicle is FWD with a very heavy engine (that is, a lot of weight over the drive wheels) and a very good traction control system (or a very good limited-slip differential, making it a ‘true’ 2WD vehicle) would the suggestion in this article then be valid. However, it most certainly would not be true in all circumstances.

My dad said from our front porch, “You seem to have a problem.”

The neighbor said, “You have me blocked in.”

My dad replied, “You should be more considerate of peoples hard work. If you need help clearing a space in front of your house, all you have to do is ask. My boys and I will help you but you just don’t go taking a space that someone has worked so hard to clear and not expect there to be some kind of consequences.”

That afternoon we were breaking ice and shoveling snow down the street, no charge and we never had anything like that take place with the neighbor again.

This all took place in Indianapolis, IN during the ice storm and blizzard of 1978.
Missed a lot of school and shoveled way too much snow!
