how safe?

How can we state that flying VFR (in Germany below F200) can be the safest option you can think of? Esp. since part of Germany is cloudy right now with a BKN layer below well below 5000' (giving HAM as a example). And what is gonna happen @ night in this case. Will we consider it to be the safest option to fly night VFR up to F200? I frankly do not understand this VFR up to F200 thing, especially since it has been confirmed much of the ash is invisible to the naked eye... Can someone comment on this one?
