After I had a accident... I think I more-or-less did the same thing. Basically... an accident report. What happen, what could have been done to mitigate or eliminate the risk of.. or damage from such an accident. Then adopt new procedures or acquire/use new equipment. I like the way you think!
One popular suggestion will be defensive driving/cycling. Keep your head in the ride, be ever aware. Don't let the cars hit you in the first place. That is my favorite... and also the hardest to accomplish.
You'll also get a lot advocates for bright reflective clothing and blinky lights.
