Yeah feel pretty lucky. Think I was saved by the fact I didn't really have time to think or react, so I was relaxed and just went with it, rolled on car & road. Road burn is pretty impressive and I've got a massive swollen bruise on my right leg (think that's what broke the guy's headlamp) but that'll all heal. Will take my confidence on the bike a bit longer to heal.
Can't believe the bike itself was completely untouched (other than a tiny scuff on the saddle). It can't be often you can say you got fully hit by a car, got up, brushed yourself off, got back on bike and rode the last 10 miles home..
