I said that to a motorcyclist friend of mine and he said, "ride like they CAN see you and WANT to kill you." Also, I am getting old, so when biking or driving by hospitals I take into consideration that drivers may be panicked, distraught or otherwise distracted and to be extra observant in these areas as stops may be missed, turns may be sudden, and unusually aggressive maneuvers may happen. (I realize the OP didn't say his incident didn't say it happened by a hospital, but it reminded me of hospital area traffic concerns since the woman said she was headed there).
