Wow. Glad she is okay. That could have ended badly. Did she have a stop sign/signal? If not, I don't see why she was supposed to stop.

Cars turning left at intersections are scary, if you ride a two-wheeler, you get very paranoid about that, it is one of the most common ways that riders get killed. When possible, I try to adjust my speed so that a car goes through the intersection alongside me. Otherwise, I cover the brakes and horn, watch the oncoming driver and his wheels, and sometimes I'll even sit up straight or do a quick weave to be more noticeable. If I have a bad feeling, I'll slow down before entering the intersection, even though it makes me look like a putz.
