The objective of this study was to explore the impact of low visibility conditions on driving behavior and driving ability. This study employed a sample of 314 participants, and a self-reported questionnaire, to investigate different types of driving behavior and driving ability under low visibility conditions. Factor analyses, bivariate correlation analyses, independent t-tests, and hierarchical regression analyses were used to investigate the relationships between variables. The results show that technical driving ability and risk perception were significantly related to driving years, yearly mileage, and the frequency of driving on the freeway in low visibility conditions. The numbers of penalty points, and the number of accidents experienced under low visibility conditions, were also related to violations and slips. In addition, the risk perception of low visibility affected the three types of driving behaviors, and technical driving ability may have affected slips.
