Always assume that every vehicle you see coming from side roads are going to pull out in front of you. Slow cover your brakes and clutch. Get ready to stop. Don't wait until they pull out prepare to stop as soon as you see them. I also like to signal the car behind me that I'm slowing by flashing my brake light. Remember that every second counts. You should also practice your breaking and other riding skills in a parking lot. Watch your following distances. You tangle with a little bitty cage and you loose. Keep a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of you. I like to use the one second of following distance for every 10 mph.

Glad you to hear you were not hurt to bad.
