I'll add one of mine, to @Tcoat 's experiences.

Germany, 1966, on a snow packed autobahn (I had chains on), at night, almost stopped, car coming up behind me going waaaay to fast.

I cut the wheel, hammered down, got out of the way just in time ....... big Mercedes slams into a car that was in front of me…….. get the drift …….
