Exactly, as many of us have said in the past. It seems that most motorists idea of "sharing the road" means that we as cyclists have to:
a) get out of their way as soon as we hear them coming
b) that we have to "cower in fear" in the gutter pan/shoulder until they pass
Which is what I would have had to do in order to clear the way for her to make her turn.
