How bad is 100 metres?
Visibility below 100 metres, as mentioned in the story, is considered very dense fog. For context, a football pitch is about 100 metres long. Driving in such conditions means you can only see a very short distance ahead, making it extremely hazardous and requiring significant caution and reduced speeds.
