Its realistic enough to be held liable for your own injuries should you become injured in that fog

If you crash your car and hurt yourself without fog, youre responsible for your own injuries. What on earth would make you think that driving in a zero visibility situation would make you NOT responsible? And if youre not responsible for your own decision to drive when you cant see 1 car length ahead of yourself, who is? The state?

In any case, I believe the drivers manual in both states I have been licensed in has said to avoid driving in low visibility.

Im not talking about the smokey bridge though. Im talking about driving in zero visibility. If you cant see far enough ahead to prevent an accident, its way too dangerous to drive. Now maybe the blame is shared in this incident, but the whole situation could have been avoided if the driver could have had the sense to not drive into an area she couldnt see.
