When you tell them that you are OK they may take this to mean that you are releasing them and of course then they drive off and don't think about they fact they nearly killed you.

Tell them that you are NOT OK, call the police and make a report, they should come to the scene. This is not lying, the fact is you have been hit by a 5,000 pound vehicle by a careless person and there is no way for you to know your actual condition on the roadside 30 seconds after being hit. Many people have discovered after the adrenaline clears the system that they in fact have broken bones, torn ligaments, injured necks not to mention the bike needs to be checked out at a minimum at their expense, gezzzzzzzz.

Scream bloody freaking murder next time. If in fact, it turns out you are OK then of course you would not want to pursue any grievance on you part, their getting a ticket however for running a stop etc is not your grievance, that is the law.
