I'd class this as the scariest thing that happened to me when I was younger.
In Scotland, specifically where I live we have a form of suspended roundabouts, where in the central reservation of them there is busy motorways.

It was mid-winter around 6-8 years ago when my whole family of 4 were driving back from a nice dinner out, we were on the last roundabout before home.
Pretty much the last few hundred yards before getting home, my dad pulled out to cross the roundabout and suddenly a dumbass boy racer thinks he can tackle black ice, come flying around the roundabout and attempts to brake, obviously failing.
He T-boned our car pushing it right to the edge of the central reservation, the car was pretty much balancing on the edge and my mum had to physically grab me and my sister from the back of the car through gap between the front seats.
I've never been more scared than this in my life, I still remember every detail to this day. the car luckily didn't slide off the edge and into the fast flowing motorway traffic below.
