In the case of thick fog, in addition to reducing visibility, can it decrease the grip of the tyres on the road surface?
A)Yes, but only in the case of braking sharply.
B)No, tyre grip only decreases when it rains.
C)Yes, because the fog dampens the road, making it more slippery.Correct
When driving in fog, visibility decreases, and even more so if the fog is thick. The risk of an accident is greater because, among other reasons, the road becomes wet and, as a consequence, reduced tyre grip on the road surface can cause skidding. Therefore, to reduce risks, the driver must adapt their driving and take precautions such as: reducing speed, increasing safety distance, and keeping lights on, and if necessary, the fog lights as well.
