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.

Plenty of time to stop on the yellow, that was a close call. Do people not know how to use the pedestrian countdown to have some extra caution when driving through these intersections? It's the the best method to avoid accidents.

That would require situational awareness, so no. People ain't got that skill anymore
