eg. If it was something that could see over your van (a bigger van or
truck), could it be that they actually accelerated into you (rather
than failed to brake), assuming you would pull away with the other
vehicle(s)? Or didn't brake as much for the same reason?

Traffic came to a quickish slow down from about 40 MPH to walking speed.
