Specifically here a foggy cliffside road and we can't tell how what we're doing affects the car until after a considerable distance.That seems like a risky stance to take. "Let's move at full speed until we can definitely tell whether it's just a hilltop or a cliff"
Regardless, the best approaches should factor in considerable death and damage. A question of "whether" we can avoid consequences is a bad one, and any action motivated by it will invariably disappoint.
