Facts to Consider
• Fog can distorts your perception of speed. By the lowered visual contrast, the driver might think that other vehicles are traveling slower than they really are.
• Fog can also make it difficult for the driver to judge his or her own speed. Depth perception and surroundings are skewed.
• Speeding while driving in the fog is a dangerous combination. Speed limits are designed for driving in ideal conditions. It is the drivers responsibility to match their speed to that of the road conditions.
• Fog can make it more difficult distinguishing between stationary objects (such as parked cars, or vehicles stopped at a light) and a moving one (such as moving vehicles and pedestrians).
Heavy fog this past Tuesday morning (Nov 1st 2011) may have been a factor in a four-vehicle car accident at the intersection of Innisfil Beach Rd & Yonge Street just south of Barrie, and north of Toronto. News reports say a pick-up truck entered the intersection and was struck by a vehicle, which caused a two-car chain reaction.
