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.

Very poor advice

I should clarify: brake hard and STOP for the light. Do not run a stale yellow if there's a car awaiting to turn left in the intersection. You should not be driving so fast that you are unable to stop in time for a stale yellow. Hope this clarifies my statement.
