About 3 years ago I had a 12ton plus behemot coming at me in my rearview mirror while at a stop/intersection. I did accelerate but as it was slippery my car (Chrysler T&C) did not lounge forward and the snowplow truck rammed my 5th door in and I was just missed by a car driving thru the intersection.
I know what you are saying but when I drive my manual shift cars I leave them in neutral as I don't ride the clutch.
I have used acceleration with steering many times in my driving career to avoid being sandwiched or side swiped with success, but never acceleration alone.
I get your point but it doesn't work(ed) for me.
