I've had a few crashes. But yet to actually be hit by a car.
The funniest ever though was when I was a courier. It was a very hot summers day and there was this woman wearing very little. Anyway the cool customer that I am, I was looking at her and smiling. Not paying attention to the fact that the white van in front of me had slammed on his brakes at a set of lights. I look forward but its too late to take evasive action. Slam on the front brake as hard as I could. I fly through the air head first into the rear doors of the van. The woman has a bemused look on here face, while the van driver gets out, there was no damage to the van or myself, except my pride. They asked me what the hell I was doing, so I explained. They found it highly amusing and drove off. Always pay attention to the rode!!
