I called 911 on a driver texting when he entered my lane on a two lane road. I had to go to the far side of the shoulder to miss a head on collision. The car behind them stopped and called 911 also. I don't know if there were any charges, but they did get pulled over. It may have only been because there were multiple callers and it was easy to identify the Subaru with no tail lights at night.
When I lived in CA a taxi ran me off the road with a sudden lane change. CHP said too bad.
