One night I got hit by a drunk driver in a uhaul truck going 45mph while i was sitting at a traffic light. Really not much you can do about shit like that but be glad you didnt die and gain a new appreciation for your legs when you get out of the wheelchair a few months later.
Just dont want you to get that, "I'm a great rider and it will never happen to me" attitude 
Just be safe and wear all your protective gear no matter how hot it is, and EVERYTIME you ride. My helmet and Joe Rocket riding gear didnt keep me out of a wheelchair, but it kept me alive.

I appreciate your post thank you very much. Also, yes I definitely don't want the attitude of nothing will happen to me Im safe I know things like that happen I'm also happy you are ok. I know there are crazy assholes on the road. Well yes I will definitely wear all my gear and like someone said even in the hottest weather never take it off. Your post was accurate.
