I know nothing about cars, and I hear this often without any explanation.

Imagine you’ve fallen on an icy surface and are on your stomach. You can’t stand up so you’re stuck crawling back out.

Front wheel drive is like crawling with your arms. You can pull yourself and change the angle where you’re pulling. Though you still slide, you can at least have some turn control.

Rear wheel drive is like pushing with both legs. You can only push forward and use your arms to steer. However, your arms are sliding on the ice so it’s much harder to control where you’re turning.
