A complaint just starts an investigation. If your neighbor is firing off his gun, should the police decline to investigate if you don't feel safe giving your name? Why should drivers get special immunity?

I might consider requiring names for complaints against drivers in return for drivers giving up their anonymity. How about making vehicle registrations public, so that the next time I see an unsafe driver, I can use the license number to look up his or her name and address on the Internet?
