Driving in **fog** is especially dangerous because it **reduces visibility** of the road, signs, and vehicles. This means we cannot clearly see obstacles that may appear in our path. For this reason, it is crucial to **increase the safety distance** with the vehicle in front of us.

The **safety distance** is the minimum space necessary to avoid collisions in the event of a sudden and unexpected stop. In foggy conditions, where visibility is limited, it is even more important to maintain a greater distance to have enough time to react to any unforeseen events on the road.


Additionally, fog can make the ground wet, which reduces tire grip and increases braking distance. Therefore, maintaining an adequate safety distance is essential to be able to stop the vehicle safely if necessary.
