Glad you weren't hurt! I was never hit by a car, but I came close. I was walking home from school, about to cross the road, looked both ways and didn't see any cars, I was right next to a corner so I couldn't see that far and I had my headphones on so I could hardly hear the outside world. Then as I was crossing I saw a car, clearly speeding, getting closer and closer fast, so I began to run to the other side of the road and as I did my bag fell off (sling bag being held closed by shitty velcro), I instinctively (and stupidly) turned back to pick up my bag, within half a second I realised how close the car was, I ditched the bag and jumped out of the way. The car came to a screeching halt, the driver rolled down his window and swore at me. I pointed to a sign saying the speed limit (20 mph), he rolled up his window and fucked off. My bag was right between the car's wheels as it went over it and, thankfully, was fully intact, as was I.
