Trust me, she didn't see you. Driver passes cyclist, driver cuts off cyclist or pulls into cyclist and claims that he/she never saw you. Ask how many people here have been passed by a car that then turned right into them, forcing the cyclist to crash or to turn with the car. I would guess hundreds of BikeForum members have experienced this.
The other explanation that motorists give, though not as frequently, is they didn't think you were going that fast (i.e., they figured you were now well behind them so turning wasn't a problem).
