At what moment did you experience the most terror in your entire life (so far)?

I was driving home from my boyfriend's house one morning after it had rained heavily. I drive a car, and was entering the freeway behind a jeep. We were speeding up to merge onto the freeway when suddenly the driver of the jeep decided to slam on the breaks for some reason. I slammed on mine while I swerved to try and avoid the collision. I barely hit the jeep BUT I skidded all the way across the three lanes on the normally busy freeway before I came to a full stop. Luckily there was no traffic at that time, but I would have been hit by at least one vehicle going 70+ mph if there had been.

The collision/skidding in general was terrifying, but I had nightmares about being hit by other vehicles and losing control, and I still got anxiety driving in the rain up until about a year ago.
