AAA FOUNDATION FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY
Fog presents numerous challenges to motorists. By definition, it reduces visibility to less than 5/8-mile, and, as fog obscures details of the driving environment and reduces contrast, drivers have difficulty accurately perceiving certain things that are crucial for safe driving, such as depth and speed.

Contrary to initial expectations, this increase in the proportion of older drivers seems unlikely to lead to large increases in the numbers of traffic crashes and associated injuries and fatalities.
