If a collision occurs when it is not the dark of night outside, a vehicle is a reasonably discernible object under the assured clear distance rule if a driver can see and respond to that vehicle's presence on the roadway. The failure to maintain an assured clear distance may be an new and independent intervening act that cuts off liability.
