Her target, who has lived in Australia for almost 30 years, was confronted at a Bunnings carpark in Hawthorn, Melbourne, shortly after a traffic dispute between the pair.

During the heated interaction, Krause told the other motorist “that’s not how you drive in this country” and “go back to China”.

Vision of the rant was shared online and the woman at the centre of it was quickly identified.

Krause told 7NEWS on Friday she is not a racist, but that her words were “extremely threatening and racist”.

Backlash from the incident had ranged from graffiti slurs to death threats, she said.

Krause plans to write a personal message to the man and his family, and would like the chance to say sorry in person.
