BDifficulty 2/5

Besides reducing visibility, can fog reduce tyre grip?

Correct answer

Yes, its moisture can wet the road and reduce grip.

Yes. Moisture associated with fog can wet the road and reduce grip, as the DGT warns. This does not imply identical grip loss in every fog episode or on every surface. Adapt speed to visibility and surface conditions, increase following distance and avoid abrupt manoeuvres; reduced grip can lengthen braking distance.
