Witnesses claimed the pair got out of their cars before rowing over each other’s driving.
Tadesse was found guilty of threatening a person with a bladed article in a public place and jailed for four weeks.
An earlier charge of affray was dropped.
Foster admitted affray and received a 12-week suspended prison term for 12 months.
Both men were ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £115 each.
