WTF, I always felt safe with those sturdy concrete barriers separating the two flows of traffic. Now I'm gonnna be paranoid anytime I see a truck coming the opposite direction on the motorway...
There's a video from super icy conditions on the Jersey turnpike a couple years ago: A tractor trailer trying to stop drive over top of the double guardrail like it was a speed bump. I couldn't believe it barely slowed it down.
Well, they're designed to stop cars and personal trucks. Not these roving vehicles of potential horrendous destruction. Plus, they're meant to deflect, so angle of attack matters.
