I'm glad you're okay too. I was almost hit by a car while riding on a busy road when a driver opened his door without looking one time. Good thing I was on the further edge of the road. At the time, like you, I wasn't sure what to think or how to react. I just swore and rode on since nothing was damaged to me or his car. But it made me think twice on how to ride even more aggressively.
I agree with Grog that you might want to get a good set of lights. I keep mine rear lights on at all times during this time. And my headlights is always blinking during the day now too. It might seem like a lot of money to spend on good lights but man... your life is worth it.
And ditto with everyone here... file a report. This is the only way any politicians would do anything about it. They need data and pressure from cycling groups.
Take care.
