I think that the reason that time seems to go slowly at those times is the adrenaline. With it pumping through your brain, you think, and act faster. Survival instinct, I guess. Wouldn't be a nice way to live though. There's times when you want time to go fast.
It's definitely the adrenaline surge, combined with having the obligation to perform a task as the driver. I have been in several accidents and incidents on the highway but only experienced time dilation when I was the driver/rider and not the passenger.
