Driver's look directly at us and don't see us!

Riding one of my usual routes yesterday where the street splits off in a sort of Y intersection. Younger women comes along side of me while I am taking the right third of the lane, we make eye contact, and she still proceeds to try and make a right turn across my path (I was intending to proceed straight). So I start shouting, Hey, I am right here! Which really freaked her out. And yes, both of my hands never left the hoods.

I don't know if she was completely zoned out or just thought I would submit to her because she was in a car.

Oh, by the way, I had my Serfas Thunderbolt light flashing on high and was wearing a hi-vis yellow jersey on a steel red and chrome bike. So I think, visually, I was a little hard not see.
