I saw this same thing happening one evening in Florida..It had just rained and water was againest the median..Car hauling tail hit the water and hydroplaned, it was coming directly for us..I told my wife, honey don't even think about hitting the brakes, just speed up a little bit..She said why?? Cause you don't see that car coming at us now do You??She sped up a little and they missed us by feet, but got he guy behind us in the headlights..CLOSE???The grass median was only about 10 feet wide and curb was less than 6 inches...
This is a prime example of how sometimes speeding up is the right thing to do.
