UNFORTUNATELY, don't be confident that SHE would get any citation. It has become common for the perps to resound with,
"Hey officer, I slowed at the intersection and then slowly entered when she came SPEEDING around the circle and right in front of me!" Unless there is a witness (and generally NOONE wants to 'get involved,' you will settle this with lawyers or insurance companies. The officer is not going to spend any time putting a traffic case together and either is your insurance company. (Been there.) Always have your cell or a camera ready to carefully document anything you can if you are involved in an accident. And be prepared for the perp to just keep going as if nothing happened .....
