Many cars are front wheel drive.
What's wrong with capitals?
- makerops 13y agoAnd they do better in the snow!
- jstanley 13y agoThat's why cars are easier to manouever in reverse. Also why parallel parking is done in reverse: so that the steering is done from the "rear".
- jpswade 13y agoI find my car easier in forward. It's easier in forward, even though it's a front wheel drive.
- jstanley 13y agoIt's easier to drive, but it is less manoueverable. It is impossible to parallel park forwards without a great deal of room and shunting, whereas when going backwards you can put the rear of the car in position, and then swing the front across. Being front or rear wheel drive doesn't change this point, it's where the steering happens that matters and is purely a case of geometry.
- eterm 13y agoEven rear wheel drive cars have front wheel steering! There are some trucks with rear wheel steering but they are rather rare.
