The buggy tried to pass her? More likely, she came to a place in the road with a wide sport or shoulder and tried to pass the buggy because it didn't move over soon enough to suit her.
The Amish have a well-known aversion to getting involved with the law, so if the damage to the buggy was nominal, it is much easier just to fit it yourself and forget it. However, the woman has to explain something to her insurance company.
Don't you think that if she tried to pass and clipped the buggy while passing the damage would be on the right (passenger's) side?
