What Happened II

I couldn't find this one by searching, so here it goes...
The truck driver was able to see the man because it was daylight during a full moon, hence the street lights being off and the lack of moonlight.
Also, black people aren't pitch black, just like white people aren't white as snow  I have no problem seeing my black friends at night time.

I know some guys who are pretty darn close. Eyes and teeth are about all you'd see.

I don't really like the "it was daylight" answers, as the riddle implies that the driver wouldn't reasonably have seen him with plently of time to stop. Then again, I'm not quite arrogant enough to claim that the world should revolve around what I like (although it it clearly should).
Is there an 'official' answer and, if so, was the black man smoking a cigarette?

This is a classic IQ test that is at the easy level...the official answer is that the whole scenario happens during the day time (and that the driver is not blind)....

My answer would be that since he's blind he's carrying a white stick which would be distinguishable at a closer distance even if it was pitch black out.

If it was truly pitch black out, it wouldn't matter what color anything was. When there is no light, you won't see any color at any distance.
