Glad you're OK. I've found London Pride* to do wonders for me after such events. Or a bit of Auchentoshan.
The sad reality of the roads is that there are and will be distracted drivers and people who drive beyond their brains ability to think. They are the cause of something like 60% of all crashes and likely about 90% of bicyclists deaths. As one Dutch engineer told me, "we design for the idiots."
* If the pub has a sparkler on get them to remove it. Amazing difference.
