dogsballs, I ride slower than most, looking in every wing mirror that I approach, even the truck ones, and anticipate someone always running in between cars, so my accident count now is low. Years ago, I used to be a magnet for German tourists!
I consciously can use the bigger gear and control my bike, due to slowness and awareness. When I need to push on, its when I see open space. Lets hope I stay lucky.
