When driving anything, be it golf cart, car, semi truck, horse, bicycle, the safe rule of thumb is to be able to brake to a full stop before you reach as far as you can see. In the fog, that may mean creeping along in a car on the freeway. On mountain roads it may mean slowing for curves. You never know when a boulder, tree limb, disabled vehicle, injured person, or yes, a pedestrian, is just around that blind curve. If your choice is deciding who to hit because you can't break fast enough you are going too fast for the conditions.
