NM_Marauder, thanks for sharing the experience. I think if I were you I would finally relax, because statistically speaking, a collision with a car is likely for someone who would commute for 33 years, so now you got that out of the way and no longer have to worry about when and how it's going to happen and how serious it's going to be.
I've collided with cars three times in the last four years. (Yes, I obey all traffic laws, and no, I'm not an aggressive idiot.) Clearly, many other cyclists are not doing their part to crash into things at statistically appropriate intervals. Come on, people! Let's start taco-ing some wheels and bending some forks! I can't take up your slack forever!
