I've got questions for you.  Three wrecks or hit 'n runs in 5 months?!  Either you're the unluckiest person in the world, or you're riding wrong!  Questions...  Do you hug the curb?  Do you ride close to parked cars?  WRONG!  Do you incorporate a rear view mirror of any type?  I use a helmet mounted "Safe Zone" mirror.  Google that.

Always ride at least 5 feet away from the curb.  Always go around parked cars with at least that same 5 foot space.  And don't wait to merge to the left at the last second.  If parked cars are there sporadically, ride as if there's a continuous line of them.  Don't play 'Hide & Go Seek' with traffic.  BE SEEN.
