Around here you don't hardly see a 2WD car off the road. And actually I myself got stuck more driving 4WD vehicles in the past than in 2WD. AWD and 4WD make you not feel the danger as much. A 2WD reminds you that the road is slick on ice, snow and mud, so affects your perception of the how you should drive.
I'm not totally unfavorable to 4WD or AWD, but they're substantially different. 4WD is usually part-time and must be used only in low-grip situations such as snow or mud, while AWD applies to full-time systems better suited to paved roads. But anyway, in fact AWD might lead the driver to misjudge the risky circumstances, and eventually figure them out only when it becomes too late.
