It wasnt a stoplight intersection - she was coming the other direction (4 lane road), making a left turn across traffic on to a side street.

Generally when I ride on the road I stay to the far right however if the speed limit is low and I can roll with traffic and there is a lot of cars turning on/off the road then I stay in the middle of the lane and just go with traffic - I find that I'm much more visible that way.
Today I was riding behind ginger, both of us single file on the right. The girl started to turn, he went right, I went left I lost the coin toss.
