It's a reasonable inference under the circumstances as reported in the
article. Firstly, the overwhelming majority of car/cyclist collisions
are the motorists fault, and secondly elderly women are not notorious
for being irresponsible or unduly aggressive road users; and thirdly
according to the report, the car had just come off a dual carriageway
section of the A47 onto a single carriageway section, a transition
through which motorists commonly speed.
