I never advise people to ride or stop riding, that is a personal decision. In my case, I continue to ride.
I had a car hit me. I was certain they had seen me because of my bright colours and assertive road position. My bad luck. I didnt have any serious injuries but was really shaken up. Im not sure my helmet prevented any injuries, but my gloves were shreded.
Now I ride a bit more cautiously, I assume that every car is going to cream me and am really wary of becoming hidden from view behind the winscreen pillars of a car. Im not timid when I ride, but ensure eye contact.

BTW did you claim for your injuries and busted bike from the driver. If he was in the wrong, he pays. If he pays, he will remember to pay attention next time.
