Sorry to hear it, that driver deserves to get the book thrown at him. I'd have made sure he had a flat and probably gouged his paint for him, if nothing else it could make it a little easier to track them down. For many of us this at time of year drivers aren't even thinking about cyclists, because the temperature is going down. The only thing I could suggest would be adding a reflective vis-vest to your riding wear, if you haven't already. There are a few different styles these days, the one I use is more of a criss-cross of straps, not eh older "mesh vest with stripes" design.
Drivers here are some of the worst in the country. Every now and then the licensing office 'catches' someone issuing licenses they way they do in thier countries, by accepting the 'brown' application form in triplicate or whatever (in Canada, we have different colours to our bills, $20's are mainly green, $50's red, $100's brown). Since moving here to the west coast, I've determined that in this city if drivers are given a choice of merge left or turn off to the right (for example) 3 out of 5 times they'll pick "banana". As in, an answer that doesn't even relate to what's happening or what could/should happen then. And the other drivers will let them and give them room to make it work as often as not. They'll pull U-turns anywhere they please, and try to cross medians rather than go a half block to an exit, and when you approach a roundabout intersection you might as well be riding into a crash scene.
