I am seat belt all the time now after my accident. Still a little jumpy if I THINK a car is coming into my lane.
In 1983 when I was in high school. I worked cleaning offices after hours. a few nights in the summer, I got some overtime (had to pay for college) and I fell asleep at a stop light on the way home. the cop came up behind me and hit the lights.. I got out and passed the are you drunk test. I told the cop I worked a double shift. He told me to pull off the road and catch some sleep or he could have the station call my parents to pick me up. didn't need it by then, the shock of taking the test woke me up enough to get home and get to bed.

30 or so years ago, I watched a young woman whom I'd known for 15 years hit a small
pond of water in her lane on a 5 lane highway.
She shot left in front of a pick up and when it hit her car in the side, her car blew up right in front of
me. As I slammed on the brakes and slid to a stop, I could see the woman laying in the road, on fire
from the gas leaking out of her car's fuel tank.
Your incident will always be in the back of your mind; maybe help you be a better, more
conscientious rider.
It took me YEARS to get over that incident, seeing cars coming over or turning left in front of me.
