This is why I'm always scanning my rear-view mirror when traffic slows dramatically. I got rear ended once with about a 30 mph speed differential and it was a real eye opener for one's vulnerability out there.
Ive had something similar (not rear ended) but I had to brake heavily because of a snarl up ahead of me, so I flicked my hazards on and watched my rear view only to see some **** lock up and cross his arms over his face.....

I knew he was gonna hit me so I took the risk and wheel spinned out of where I was into the next lane (luckily it was clear) the bloke just managed to stop before he would have hit the car in front of me but If I hadn't of taken my manovre my car would have been in the breakers .

basically now if I ever see a big snarl up ahead I pull over into the far LH lane if its clear and Im ready to drive off the road and up the embankment if it all kicks off i'd rather rip my front body kit off than see the ole girl in breakers
