Most sane people would have given up riding on multi-lane roads after just one accident, you however kept on, and subsequently got hit 3 more times.
How long before you get hit yet again "taking the lane"?
Even tractors and heavy equipment get hit all the time, and they usually have no where else to be, other than in the lane.
I prefer not to get "knocked off my bike" and if I did, I would seriously consider a new hobby and/or a different place to ride.
