At least your crash was in the headwind where the speed was crippled to probably something like 20mph. If the crash would have been on the straight with the tailwind you would have been flying at over 30mph into the other dude.

Also, the certification thingy for bike races won't do squat in my opinion. You want to know why? Just look at the drivers of cars who have a license and how dumb they are with their moves on the road.
It's all common sense, which is a very rare occurrence these days.
