But how would the driver or police establish that his actions were intentional? His shirt flew up because he lifted his butt off the seat. That could have occurred inadvertently. So unless he admitted to deliberately displaying the pistol, I think that it would be very difficult to make a charge out of this.
And I'm not advocating breaking the law, but still the OP wouldn't be compelled to incriminate himself.
FWIW the reason that someone tails a bike in this way is to make the rider go down. They want to make you crash. So it is a mortal threat, though that would be difficult to prove as well. I think that's part of the attraction for some drivers.
