107. Seems to me that...
Seems to me that the feeling of being threatened was a gradual process-- as it is in many, many cases. Seems to me that calling 9-11 the very second the situation began would have been somewhat premature as it could have been nothing more than a momentarily distracted driver.

I also think that, after having witnessed the erratic and non-caring nature of the driver for sometime, the OP might have possibly thought that the driver in question would continue to be a safety hazard for other drivers on the road, and thus called 911 to alert them of a dangerous presence on the road.

I fail to see how anyone (other than the tail-gater himself) would have a problem with seeing an aggressive, most-likely dangerous driver become an interest to local law enforcement.
