I'm sorry i really don't see any situation in where OP doesn't come out of this at fault, or best case scenario, partly.

The truck IS visible, and very much so at 3 seconds, easily. . . not to mention there are lights above and the street is well lit so in terms of visibility, there is no debating, the truck had suffecient lighting around and above, hell even that really bright one that is pretty much right above the truck then you go the few every few meters or so... and the licences plate from the truck also starts to reflect and even at that point he still has time to react. OP was distracted or not paying close enough attention Some are arguing that we can see the truck because we are looking for it. . . then what are you doing when your driving? You definitely cannot just be looking straight ahead a few inches, you are periodically looking ahead so that you can anticipate and avoid things like this, like your blind spots and rear view mirrors..

In terms of "reaction" time he had enough time, OP was WAYYY to close before he noticed the truck and tried to avoid it, lets be honest here....way to close, that right there will be a strong point against him orrrr OP maybe is loosing his eye sight and not know it? lol but seriously guys, look at it, i'd like to vote in favor of OP but realistically here 9 times out of 10 he will come out at fault!
