It's probably your fault since you were hoping that you could ask her out on a date, but you didn't.
That's what the tone of your initial question sounded like.
Had you not dipped out of the way she would have just smashed into you. Had you of not dipped in front of her she probably would have reacted too late to the stalled semi and either smashed into it going as fast as she was or freaked out and slammed into the side of you and about four other cars. Just be glad that the concrete divider was there.
Everyone half expects bmw drivers to be dicks anyway. I once clipped a bicyclist in a snow storm. The guy hits my fender swerves almost wrecks looks back at me cursing then goes about his day. I was so confused I just drove on as well. Its almost as if we get a free asshole pass.
West German BMWs, they just don't make the same as they did before the wall fell.
^Case in point: Auto-Repair Technology. Everytime my car isn't starting or acting up I let it sit, sometimes for an hour, sometimes for days. But it eventually fixes itself.
Driving too fast for conditions is defined as traveling at a speed that is greater than a reasonable standard for safe driving.13 Examples of conditions where drivers may find themselves driving too fast include: wet roadways (rain, snow, or ice), reduced visibility (fog), uneven roads, construction zones, curves, intersections, gravel roads, and heavy traffic.14 The Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS) reported that 23 percent of large-truck crashes occurred when Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) drivers were traveling too fast for conditions.
The woman driving the PT cruiser is by your accounts (if they are accurate) Driving Too Fast For Conditions as defined by the Federal Motor carrier Safety Administration.
It would only be a matter of time before that driving behavior caught up to her. You just accelerated the process and actually did her a favor. Good driving habits are reinforced by conducting poor ones and observing the outcome.
Or one can just practice good driving standards without having to make the mistakes and learn the hard lessons.
