There's no good answer.

Of course the answer is don't drive faster than condition allow.
I don't know what a "black" fog is, but I've driven in fog, patchy fog, rapidly appearing fog, etc. It's frightening and dangerous. One situation that I've been in similar to this is driving on the highway and smoke from fires obscured the roadway quickly and almost completely. This is a very dangerous situation. If I can't drive more than 15 mph, I'd rather be parked on the shoulder, well off the roadway. Being unable to see should mean being unable to drive. You can't drive if you can't see. Terrible.
