Motorists who are so psychotic that they'll literally try to run over you are so rare that few people here will encounter one (which is good since odds of getting killed in such situations are high)

The method of moving in on them is still sound as it gives you space to work with. Mirrors would be very useful in such circumstances because you could see they were aimed at you. You're still more likely to get hit by trailer or piece of equipment wider than the vehicle towing it as some drivers are not cognizant of the need to account for things that are wider than their hood.
