Can someone report your license plate

Basically I was entering an entrance ramp onto the Highway and the Driver of the Vehicle in question was in front of me driving slowly. Once we get to the acceleration ramp she's still driving at a slow pace and so I speed up and quickly change 2 lanes to merge unto the highway. I guess she saw what I was doing so she decided to speed up and quickly change lanes as well.

I eventually get into the fast lane, and I pass her. A mile later I take my exit to get off the highway and she does as well but she keeps a good distance. I have to make a left and as a I make a left the left turn light turns yellow, I get through easily but she literally guns it to also make the left turn as the turn signal light turns Red.

We are now at a 30 mile/hr road and as I slow down to turn into my destination I see her in my rear view mirror position her Phone above her steering wheelin plain sight. She is clearly taking a photo of my license plate. I see her look at my car a little longer as she passes and then shes gone.

Is there anyway she can report me to the police and as a result get a citation? Aside from speeding, I didn't cut any one off, I used my turn signals to change lanes, and I didn't run any red lights.?

Edit:

In Maryland it is illegal to use hand held devices while driving. Wouldn't she be in more trouble seeing how she took a picture of her phone? Also if your license plate is reported, will there be some type of history added to your driving record attached to the license plate?

In addition to obeying the traffic laws and regulations required by each state or locality, someone also can report your license plate number to the police if you commit a violation, only a small error.

Reporting your vehicle number to the police can come from you overtaking their vehicle at a high speed, causing traffic accidents, collisions causing serious consequences, making noise on the road while driving, driving in a lane, or talking on the phone while driving, etc.

What happens if someone reports your license plate? Don’t worry! If it’s just minor infractions, you still have a way to avoid paying a fine or being held accountable. Think about the information in this article.

First, you must make sure that you do not cause serious consequences such as a traffic accident, or a major collision that causes damage to people or property. With small errors, you can completely give a reasonable reason not to be held responsible before the law.

As soon as you have your license plate reported, the police can call or find your home address if you are near the area. If you live elsewhere, the local police will contact and receive your violation information to handle.

They will proceed to provide you with information about the violation such as evidence, photos, time, place, or witnesses about this traffic violation. A report will be made and you will have to pay a fine or have your driver’s license confiscated as required.

In this situation, you can come up with a compelling reason such as driving an ambulance to a patient, a car running out of gas, or are in a situation of force majeure. Try to convince the police of the difficulty you are having and will never do it again.

However, if the police can’t provide specific evidence to prove your wrongdoing because sometimes you can’t detect minor mistakes while driving or someone deliberately reports to a police officer for bad intentions or just because they are too rigid in complicated traffic situations.

You can ask for specific evidence or talk to a witness about your violation. In fact, it will be very difficult for the police to handle violations through license plate reporting unless it is a major accident or serious violation that prompts them to seek evidence and make a record.

Most errors in reporting license plates to the police are usually minor traffic errors and little evidence of images or cameras that can be recorded. Or they are also very difficult to convict the violator because of insufficient information or consequences.

Conclude

Any report from someone about your license plate to the police will cause you to receive a call or meet to deal with violation reports. Therefore, obey the traffic laws in any situation to avoid wasting time and money to solve the violation.
