Overconfidence in your all-wheel drive vehicle can lead to spinouts and collisions.

Just because your vehicle has all-wheel drive doesn't mean you can trust it to handle all weather conditions.

"All-Wheel Drive vehicles can give a false sense of security and the wrong impression of how low the traction is on snowy or icy roads, because accelerating away from a stop can feel so effortless," Rogers said.

When it comes time to stop or turn, the all-wheel drive system does little to help you maintain control of the vehicle, and if your tires lose traction with the road, the system's capabilities mean nothing.
