yea, I was just going to mention automobile fatalities. People seem to except those without worrying about themselves getting killed.. I got hit by a an out of control car and it wouldn't have mattered what I did, I still would have been hit (drivers fault), thought my time was up (can still see the car wobbling towards me at speed) but leapt out of the way just in time! I made sure I got on the bike as soon as possible, just like riding a horse, you've got to get back or the fear in your mind will eventually make it impossible. Still freak out a bit at the sound of screeching tires and I'm really, really careful but I'm not going stop living out of fear. Like JeremyZ said if I was killed i'd want others to either learn from it, be more careful but not to stop cycling. Life is too short anyway, live it.
