An NTUA Diploma Thesis titled “Impact of weather conditions and rush on road safety” was recently presented by Giota Spanou. This Diploma Thesis shows that snow and rain lead to a significant increase in the probability of an accident. Fog increases the accident probability only in the event of a dangerous event. Also, time pressure seems to have the same effects as snow, a fact that should concern drivers.
