I've tangled with two cars in my time .. and slid down the road wondering where the bike had gone a few times too ..

Yes - that reaction is totally normal and understandable (The night before a long ride I sometimes lie awake wondering if I'll make it home the next day ,.. never stops me going ...) .. just get out there and takeit easy - your confidence will come back ..


And paranoia is healthy .. just treat al the cars as if they are trying to kill you and you'll be safe (because sometimes they will have a go ...)
