That was blatant assault with a deadly weapon and the guy should have been arrested on the spot. I'd have raised holy hell with the cops right then and there. I don't think you made your case very strongly or clearly. I'd have DEMANDED that they arrest the guy or at least investigate.

Absolutely! You should have immediately asked for the LEO's supervisor and escalated it on the spot. I don't know about nationwide, but here in NC, they are encouraging drivers to dial "*HP" to report drunks, reckless driving, excessive speeding, etc. I realize hindsight is 20-20, but if you had simply dialed *HP when he began the agressive tailgating (that in itself constitutes ADW), you would have at least had "some record" of the event. Another idea, if you have a camera phone, attempt to snap a pic of them riding on your a$$.
I've had the same thing happen to me (albeit not an accident) for passing a pickup, so I've had time to mull it over since then...
