Sucks man. Glad you are ok though.
When at a red light, keep the bike in gear, and watch your rear views mirrors.
When I see traffic approaching I'll blink my brake light a couples times to make sure they are slowing down.
The only time I'll take the bike out of gear and stop watching is if I know there are a couple cars behind me.
I wear a neon yellow helmet with a reflective halo band. Even with that you have to act like you are invisible.
