Well believe it or not, she might have been speeding! On a motorcycle, you must be AWARE at ALL times.

I bet that if that person made a U-turn in front of me, that I could've avoided it. That might just be me sounding cocky but I'm pretty confident that a car would have to be almost invisible or hit me from the side if making a U-turn. If I was speeding hardcore,,,then yeah I'd probably rear-end him/her. But that's unlikely because when riding in traffic I am all ears, and eyes. I try to assume that every car waiting to pull onto the road is going to do it regardless of whether he sees me or not.

You just have to be defensive and assume that you are invisible to traffic. I've saved myself from a LOT of potential accidents with that mindset.
