I haven't paid close attention and don't know what exception the judge relied upon, but it seems on its face that the prejudicial nature of that evidence would heavily outweigh it's evidentiary value.
Is that something that would normally not be allowed?

It was a road rage incident at the same exact intersection that resulted in the defendant physically attacking someone.
