Henderson, a 57-year-old business consultant, was driving a Smart car from Delta to Vancouver and testified that he stopped his vehicle due to traffic congestion as he was trying to merge into the left-hand lane.

He said McGregor’s vehicle was travelling immediately behind his vehicle and was so close to him that he thought her vehicle would hit his.

Henderson said he heard her honk her horn at him before her vehicle came to a stop, and it appeared that she was using her mobile phone to talk or text.

He testified that he was concerned her vehicle had made contact with his vehicle and got out to check for damage; he decided to walk over to her vehicle, which he claimed he did in a calm, non-aggressive and non-threatening manner.
