VFR Weather Minimums

Hi

Following scenario:
You are at an uncontrolled airport, you have listened to the latest weather (ASOS/AWOS), accordingly the received information, the weather conditions are below basic VFR. But when you (as the PIC) look around, it seems to you that the weather is still good enough for VFR. Is it mandatory to get a SVFR clearance, or is the judgment of the pilot crucial in this situation? What are the reglementations saying?

Greetings
Sam
