Sorry, can't let this one go, being a fourth-generation Californian with lots 
of experience in this area. 

I think you mistook fear as a threat--the last thing anyone without a DL or 
insurance wants is cops on the scene. In CA, at least, anyone who rearends 
someone is ALWAYS at fault under the law (ask me how I know). 

A 'harassment' charge would have any cop I've ever met--quite a few, 
actually--laughing his ass off.

Well, I had the displeasure of three different Calimexifornians rear ending 
my BJ8 on tres separate occasions.... which they had no insurance, if you 
can believe it. Of course each time I asked to see their driver's licenses 
of which I got this look like, "if you do ask again, we'll call the cops and 
throw you in jail for harassment." 

Anyway, I did subsequently install a 3rd brake light on the BJ8 and have not 
had a rear ender in over 10 years, knock on BJ8 dash wood. Of course 
nearsighted Hong Kong taxi drivers, who seem to have that dreaded genetic 
disorder called "rapid spasmodic gas-brake syndrome," are whole 'nuther can 
a worms.
