"She stated her husband had been yelling at her that morning to get her kid to school on time..."

An interesting statement by the mother. It makes me wonder what could put that kind of fear into a woman by her husband. Any rational woman in a normal relationship would not have been driven to such acts for failing to fulfill what would appear to be a harmless directive from her husband.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong on their homefront but it does seem a bit odd.

Maybe not. She may be one of those perpetually late people.

I'm sorry but some of us are always running late. Driving faster is a perfectly normal way to make up time. And she would have been later if she'd stopped to talk. makes sense to me. Homeschool is SO MUCH BETTER. no tickets, you are never late, pajama-rama. THAT is when we stopped being late to school. I highly recommend it.

How exactly could the mother throw the citation book out of the window? I mean I've never seen an officer hand the citation book to the peasant for them to review? That seems a bit odd? What was the mean time on this traffic stop? Had he delayed her for a very long time, that being out of the norm? Does heir officer have a habit of twisting the nickers of sobbing female motorists for perhaps an encounter at a different place and time?

And why the chase? You know where she resides. The chase is just soooo California. Just drive to her home and wait so we can all safely live another day without 100mph police cars rocketing down the highway during rush hour and school crossing time.

I thought that too, but there are two ways to look at it. Mom really is scared because dad is threatening or mom is p*ssed after arguing with dad and takes it out on the police officer who she sees as an authoritative male figure like the husband. Could go either way...

It's kind of presumptuous to think that fear motivated her. I've seen women work true wonders of idiocy simply out of spite. I can picture this lady saying something like this;
'So, you think I should just ditch the curlers and not worry about my nails this morning huh? You think its just Soooo important to get little jimmy to school on time for a change, well I'll show you! Just wait till you see the ticket I get for this!'

I was in an abusive relationship years ago and I can see this happening very easily as a result of abuse.
