People used to do that to me all the time. The cops never do shit. No offense Debbie but that's a weak road rage story, that was like a daily occurance for me for a few years.
The cops don't necessarily do anything, but the driver of the SUV doesn't know that. The goal is to get them to back off without having to escilate the situation further. Plus if you really call 911, you might have rescue vehicles enroute faster if you get crashed out while you're on the phone w/ the operator.
