I've always heard, close calls are like dodging bullets....an inch is as good as a mile.
I'm not sure if you have to be crazy or just have super mind control, but I agree you just have to block it out.
I've had a couple of car crashes where I was a worse driver afterwards for a while before I got my confidence back.
Being too careful and indecisive is almost worse than relaxing and letting your knowledge, skill and reactions take control.
As far as the fear, there was no time for fear....the crash reminded me of a gun going off...within an instant your world is suddenly changed forever.
