That minimum is not the "standard" minimum but one that applies under special conditions. It should not be used as a reference...

Flying VFR with a vis of 1.5 km is asking for big trouble regardless of how legal it is.



In my opinion, one "shall" not attempt VFR flight with vis less than 5 km and/or ceiling less than 1500 feet. This is the "absolute" minimum. A 50 hour PPL should definitely not fly when just barely legal, your mileage may vary...
