I'm sorry that you were injured, and hope you have made a full recovery, SR46. I don't blame you for not giving up riding, I wouldn't either.

Be careful with that "a lot more cautious" thing, it could cause you to allow yourself to be in a more dangerous situation.

My experience is it's safer to be more assertive... Force drivers to take you into account, and never ride in the door zone. I assume you're already wise enough to don the high vis gear and blinking lights. Don't be afraid to take your place in traffic when necessary, it's much safer.
