Hit by a car, but why??

Ohhhh I hurt all all over. So much was said all at once, it is difficult to sort out. Lately drivers, have been squeezing me close to the curb while turning right. I have to brake for them.

An elderly lady was ticketed for creaming me (right hook), while turning into Walgreens.

I had
* two fist sized amber flashers running front + back
* high viz jacket w/reflective stripes from shoulder to cuff
* 2 large wide silver reflective stripes on the helmet cover
* 1" wide yellow reflective add-ons from calf to ankle
* Reflective on the front of the shoes

Witnesses said 'There were several bikes behind me also in the lane'
Driver said 'I didn't see you'
Driver said 'you were going faster than I thought'
EDITED: THE TIME WAS 8:15AM, CLOUDY, 42F
