Got right hooked

Was doing my usual ride this morning. Was just riding in the middle of the block, with some businesses on the right in a bicycle lane. A car passes me and immediately turns right in to the business driveway. Her rear bumper didn't even fully clear my front wheel. I hit the brakes hard, managed to unclip, and turn the bike so it was more or less a glancing blow. Wasn't injured and front wheel looks ok. What pissed me off was a reaction from this Indian woman. First it was "I didn't hit you", then it was her repeating over and over "I had signal on", "but I turned the signal on". Like it magically solves everything and allowes for blindly changing lanes and turning. Then it was "I thought you stopped." HOW did she came up with that piece of idiocy. I guess that is the most frustrating and infuriating part. I don't think she ever considered or realized that she did anything wrong. Damn DMV will give anyone a license.
