yes both wheels would have traction instead of one
the correct term is posi-traction which refers to the power to the differential then to the rear wheels, a posi-traction equipped vehicle provides power to both drive wheels if one of the wheels starts to slip, a non posi-traction vehicle only drives one rear wheel.
To let the drive know that the traction control is on.
It is safe to drive but it means you have no traction control when the light is on and you should get it serviced. ASAP!
Some vehicles equipped with a traction control that have both 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive options can turn off traction control before putting the vehicle in gear by switching the vehicle from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive. Vehicles that have 4 wheel drive all the time usually do not allow for traction control to be turned off.
In front wheel drive the traction comes from the front wheels while in rear wheel drive traction power comes from the rear wheels.

Yes it would. Snow tires are no guarantee of traction on any car.
If traction conditions are hazardous:definitely do NOT drive close to other vehiclesemergency flashers aren't mandatoryyou shouldn't drive if you can help it but if you have to then:DRIVE SLOW
You will get better traction in slippery conditions. Works great for snowplow vehicles If you jack the drive tires off the ground of a vehicle with out posi-track and try to drive it you will notice one tire spins faster than the other. A vehicle with a posi-track you will notice the drive tires will spin at relatively the same speed, This under driving conditions where one drive tire has low or little traction allows the other drive tire to do almost the same amount of work buy spinning at relatively rpm's.
The more weight over the drive wheels, the more traction.

A front wheel drive car has the weight of the engine of the car to help with traction as for the rear wheel does not have the engine weighing it down so there is less traction.
