I also avoided being rammed from behind by inches once
on the dual carriageway not far from work. I was speeding, so the guy behind me was also. Lights ahead go green, car in outside lane stays stationary. Oops. I brake pretty hard (Escorts didn't have ABS) but stop short, without skidding, swearing like mad at the idiot who hadn't set off. ...when I become aware of a large cloud of blue smoke floating past. Funny, thinks I, I'm sure I didn't lock any wheels? Check all 3 mirrors, nothing behind at all. Look right to see a Fiesta sat on the (fortunately wide, flat and barrierless) central reservation, chap behind the wheel white as a sheet.
Still have no idea how he missed me, but very glad he did , would have gone right through me I think.

The last brown trouser moment I had behind the wheel
I had just over taken an HGV when one of its tyres blew out the noise is what I imagine a bomb would sound like. Scared the living crap out of me
