Not trying to defend Florida because I do not know FL law, but in AZ where I was in Law Enforcement for 27 years, an officer could go to a prosecutor with your information and file a complaint if you could ID the driver. Since he did not collide with anything, there was not much chance of any physical evidence at the scene. However, in court he would just remain mute, as he cannot be compelled to testify. Without an ID, he could not be placed behind the wheel and could not be found guilty of (in this case crossing the centerline). This charging on the complaint of a civilian was originally passed because of speed and noise violations in residential neighborhoods. It works well there because the offender is usually a repeat offender that the complainant can ID.
