Answer 1

Answer:

It is better to drive a large SUV in stead of a smaller car in icy conditions, because the large SUV contains enough friction of force to drive in the snow on the ground. The mass of the car also plays a huge effect on this because then it does not slide off the road. The large tires on the big SUV make you ride smoothly through the snow and ice. With driving a smaller car though, the old tires have already been through a lot of driving, so this makes driving the car rough on the road. This also makes it so there is not a normal force in the wheels, so this means the car does not go at its normal speed, and this could cause an accident, or the rough tires could cause a fire when driving.

Trust me on this. I am 17, and I drive a Nissan Armada as my first car. Life changing. Happy Holidays!
