I always have my eyes on the rearview mirrors when I am stopped at a light.

I asked her straight up, she just lowered and shook her head. Wouldn't give an explanation.

Sounds like you did everything right. Glad it wasn't worse.
Maybe this is one accident thread that will escape second guessing.

I've never heard of this but it makes sense. Did she say why she hit the gas?

Yeah, that would have been my guess.

One time I was stopped behind a cage in a left turn lane. The cage driver decided to back up and move over into the lane that was going straight.

Luckily I saw his backup lights before hit me. The danger can come from a lot of directions.
