I have had several close calls and they do spook you. But I try and learn from each of them so that that situation does not happen again. I post my experience on forums like these and try to learn from the experience of others. Each time I have done that I have ended up changing the way I ride. Each time I have taken a situation that could have scared me off the bike and turned it into an opportunity to make me a better/safer rider. It may only be a small improvement but it works wonders in restoring your confidence and removing that fear.
