    Either that or the paint on the tractor was faded enough not to reflect anything (tractor was an older model KW T-600).

    Headlights or not, the truck didn't slow down a bit coming up to that intersection. Even without the stop stop he ignored, in fog like that he should have approached that intersection with caution.

    Not necessarily. Especially with lighter shades of paint-especially white.

    The white truck is clearly driving way too fast even for good conditions, not to say for dense fog...

    That truck smoked that stop sign. You can tell they were driving way too fast. And I don't believe that excuse of the fog being too dense.

    That's at least 150-200 foot visibility. If they weren't speeding and paying attention that accident wouldn't have happened.

    ouch. the fog didn’t look that bad, though. it looks to me as if the truck blew the intersection completely. be it fog or whatever.

    In fog like this, I turn on my amber beacons and drive only as fast as I can to stop within the distance that I see.
