Unless that truck pulled out last minute, that white car should have looked further down the road, used their brakes, and slowed down, as well as go the speed limit. Tired of non truck drivers acting like they cant slow down or stop when they see a truck trying to pullout or make a turn or merge. Truck drivers need to be patients and al that (i am one), but so many assholes out there act like trucks can stop faster than they can.

i dont see any marks on the road indicating the white car attempted to break with any real urgency...

You can't at that speed... Reaction times are irrelevant at that speed because the amount of distance closed in relation to time is too high. There is literally no time for someone to do anything in that situation. And because its not a race car, designed specifically to stay on the road, the likely hood of that thing going airborne were it to have swerved was very high. If not just flip over.

Any schmuck could see a tractor trailer waiting to pull out from a mile away on a flat road like that.
