First time down.

Your major lesson learned should be how to brake properly and that is NOT primarily using your rear brake. If you mainly use your rear brake on a daily basis, then that is what you're going to apply first in a panic situation. Practice using your front brake and learn what threshold braking is. While that may not have saved you from this accident, it's the best chance you have.

Danate is spot on. It's time to relearn braking and focus on maximizing your effectiveness with the front brake. The difference between rear only and front only could be the difference between this crash and a mildly exciting avoidance maneuver.
