Yesterday.
That is something that I think about each time I get on my bike or in a car.
Not only I think about it; I understand the real possibility of that accident happening during that ride.
So far, that approach has worked for me.
I wear my protecting gear, but I work hard on my two other lines of defense.

"Protective riding gear is your backup in case your first two lines of defense crumble. When something finds its way past your first two barriers, what you’re wearing is all you have left. It’s technically a combination of the first and second degrees. Mentally, it falls under preparation. Physically, it protects you from the ravages of the pavement and the elements such as heat, wind, rain and cold that can affect your ability to (mentally, again) concentrate and operate the bike."
