....too bad you read it that way (not a defensive driver)- no assumptions here: merely introducing another way to address this type of situation in the future

the suggestion is merely a different choice (a concept) for your consideration since you've now experienced this scenario and apparently regret the outcome

experience and common sense would dictate if a vehicle comes wrecklessly close to your vehicle- - it would follow to stay as far away as possible (as immediately as possible) for as long as possible in order to avoid any (-) outcomes

>>>and naturally nothing is life is guaranteed- this strategy simply increases the odds of a (=) outcome

this is a suggestion based upon close to 25 years driving experience: track, international, ralley, caravan, motorcycle sports

although you have not seen this before- I have and worse- - feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss further

best regards
