4WD is OK and will keep you going for longer in slippery conditions but I recall sitting in a stationary queue in a blizzard in Harrogate when an impatient * in a Range Rover decided to drive past the traffic, something we all could've done because it was downhill. They went past me but only got another 2 or 3 vehicles down when they were confronted by a central reservation. They braked, locked up and slid gracefully into the railings and bollard.
4WD may keep you going but braking is another whole thing.
