Yep, I know that feeling, when I still had my Midget, I approached a lone
t-junction, where a Lorry was standing just in front of me. Now the
situation is, that, in order to turn right you had to get into a special
lane which was banked off the left lane. Apparently the driver thought, oh,
well, I need to go right, but I'm in the wrong lane, so he banged it into
reverse and, well, I was just quick enough to sound the horn and get out of
the thing, by the time I got out, the lorry's spare wheel was by the
windscree, having, eh well mangled the bonnt and the rest of the front a
bit.

Years ago I rented a 20 foot Ryder truck to go pick up a 4000 lb
machine.
At a stop light I had stopped to close to a rail road track. To be on
the
safe side I backed up a little and when the light went green I went to
move
forward still in reverse. I didn't hit the little car behind me but I
think
the poor driver had a bit of a scare.<
