I'd like more details if you're willing.

  Driving down an 80km/h straight back road, single lane each way, with a car and truck following me. The lanes are free of snow but there is old ice/snow packed on the center line and some small drifts of minor snow, so the white lines are obscured in places. Two teenagers in the back of my car. Coming towards me is a Tesla model 3, followed by a Peugeot. The Tesla neatly lane changes into my lane and drives straight at me. Closing speed is around 160km/h. I hit the brakes and brake to a halt. The Tesla driver seems to take control at some point as the car first heads back to his side, but doesn't change back into his lane (maybe due to the Peugeot), then moves across my lane to the narrow shoulder on my side of the road, while braking fairly heavily (as was I). We both reduce speed quickly enough that we aren't going to crash. The vehicles behind me have also done so. As we pull level with him (facing the wrong way on my shoulder) I can't see the driver as I am in an SUV and he is low down, opposite side of the vehicles of course. He has stopped. I continue. The car behind me stops to check on him. The teenagers in my cars saw the whole thing and are exclaiming about it. I guess maybe his car was seeking the white line and couldn't find it in the snow, so it hunted into my side. I don't know though.
