The expression can only be used if it refers to something that has a time reference. "In bad weather, crossing the road..." is a generalized statement, so how could you know if you've seen worse? <br /><br />"I've seen worse" tends to be a fixed comment used as a reply, sometimes in a joking manner. It tends not to be taken literally that you have seen something worse (you may or may not have). <br /><br />In the 3rd example, the insertion of "much", although not grammatically incorrect, moves towards the idea that you really have seen something much worse, especially as it's qualified by "the truth is".
