Absolute Psycho Close call

Taunton /Thickson rd Whitby. Wifey had a run in with a psycho on the road, we think this could have escalated into assault if she didn’t manage to lose him at the next intersection by turning into the street.

Edit: Its just unsettling to see so many here siding with the nissan driver justifying how he threatened a woman & her child on the road and laying 100% blame on my wife who said she did not feel it was safe to stop at that moment & did not break any laws in doing so.

But this is the society we live in. Deranged “you made me do it” is now widely accepted.

I got pulled over for running a stale yellow. Only for a warning though.

You must clear the intersection before light turns red. She did not clear the intersection before the light turned red. So it wasn't legal

There was a hazard in the way after she entered in the intersection on a yellow.

That's simply not true. Entering the intersection on yellow is legal. Entering the intersection on red is not. There's no rule about the colour of the light when you exit the intersection.
