Correct answer
Yes, because it requires a greater level of attention from the driver.
Driving in conditions of fog, rain or snow can encourage the onset of fatigue in drivers. These adverse weather conditions demand a higher level of attention from the driver due to the challenges they present while driving. Reduced visibility, a slippery road surface and other weather-related factors make driving more difficult and require greater concentration. In foggy conditions, it is hard to see clearly what lies ahead, forcing the driver to reduce speed and maintain an adequate safety distance. Rain can leave the road wet and slippery, increasing the risk of skidding and aquaplaning. Snow creates even more challenging conditions, since traction can be compromised, and driving must be adapted to winter conditions.
