Near misses...

Well I got hit last night. I was on a mini-roundabout, turning right, this dozy cow pulls out straight into me. Claimed not to have seen me... what did she think all the lights and scotchlite were doing right in front of her? I'm alright, took the impact with my face and protected the bike. She wasn't going that fast as she'd just pulled off, haven't even got a bruise to show for it. My glasses were a write off though.

Ouch!

Im always in fear of faceplanting into things, a car cannot be the most forgiving.

Still definetely a "near miss" as your not thankfully your not too fucked up or dead. Its nice you got the opportunity for a verbal exchange. If you did actually get hit, you are fully entitled to make a report to the police, you should do it for what its worth.
