In your favor, I do think Allister is somewhat underestimating the danger, other than solo crashes the only crashes I've ever had with motor vehicles have been doorings. The first was the worst though, I was pretty young and learned a valuable lesson that day. OTOH, there was no bike lane so it wasn't even a factor.
