Sounds like she didn't actually get hit, so there's no way for the police 
officer to know whether she swerved to save herself or simply overreacted.

I got side-swiped[1] on my left side once, and the other driver tried to 
claim I hit him. Until I pointed out the scuff marks on my right tires and 
the right curb, the cop was ready to believe him, as I was a very young 
driver at the time.



[1] Side-swiped: Two cars going the same direction clash right-door of left 
car to left-door of right car.  For those here possibly unfamiliar with the 
idiom.
