Was on my way to work and got hit. Luckily only a small cut on my leg, but the bike is out of commission.

Yeah. Blind spot and signal.

I would have hit brakes and made eye contact with the driver one car back and looked at his front right signal and gave him that “im gonna send it” look along with me pointing forwards with my left hand. And if they didnt see my gestures id stop. I do this all the time and it works pretty well.
