Correct answer
Reduction in visibility and tyre grip
Dense fog reduces visibility and may dampen the road, reducing grip. Lower grip increases braking distance; total stopping distance also includes reaction distance. This does not mean every fog condition produces the same grip or stopping distance. Reduce speed to suit visibility and road surface, increase the gap and avoid abrupt braking or steering.
