But he was found unanimously guilty by a jury and was sentenced to five years behind bars.
In the video, released by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), Mr Collins can be seen getting out his car to go and speak to Woodhead when the pair were stopped by traffic lights.
After a brief exchange, Woodhead drove forward in his blue Peugeot 206 as Mr Collins returned to his vehicle, a Citroen Berlingo.
Woodhead then reversed at speed as Mr Collins tried to get back in his car, smashing into the open door.
