The other thing I suppose, no matter what he did, until he kicked out the other guy, he was breakingthe law driving with an extra passenger. If Meggy comes into the front, Shaun goes in the back, if the police pull him over they'll notice he has 5 passengers.
Combo wasn't exactly a law abiding citizen. He threatened to slash three teenagers if he saw them again, he robbed a shop with a machete, he beat up Milky to within an inch of his life... I don't think he's that worried about a driving offence.
Another thing to remember is it was based in the 80s. Yeah, if he was trying that today, some cars going past will have dash cams fitted, pedestrians can take a photo with their smartphone, evidence. Dash cams and smartphones weren't a thing in the 80s. At most a person holding a camera could walk past, and even if they take a photo, it would be on film and need to be developed. Somebody would need to see him, choose to report him and remember his number plate. And if he denies it's his word against theirs.
Combo isn't a reasonable man.
He wants to act tough, question his beliefs and he'll lose his temper.
Remember Roald Dahl's Witches? The meeting of witches where one witch questions the plan and the Grand High Witch destroys her? She could have just said, "Yes, my plan will work, listen to me and you'll know what you need to do."
Some people are just volatile. A small thing not to their liking can set them off.
Or maybe he wanted to make an example. He wanted somebody to step out of line. Kind of a, "I'm the boss, follow me to the letter, don't question me." He just needed someone to say or do something slightly out of line to him so he could assert this to the rest of the group.
As for Woody, he was happy to se him to begin with. But things started to change. He always seemed to have prejudice against Milky. Milky was Woody's friend. Then when he gathered them all up with their "mission" he told anyone they could leave and never come back, Woody was one of the ones who left.
I'll post some legs to guess
