Tailgating isn't an issue with me. State Hwys in my area have cross streets and I have had issues with people cutting me off in order to get around me, the slower vehicle, just so they can make an immediate left turn.
Then there are the ones who sit and wait while you approach only to pull out right in front of you no matter which lane you're in.
There's also a deer problem in the areas west of StL. Ever had a 50mph encounter w/a deer in any modern vehicle? Stopping very quickly and/or swerving hard are sometimes your only options. Heck, its scary enough in my daily driver which is corner balanced, has 32-way electronically adjustable damping, 24mmF and 27mmR thick sway bars, four piston calipers, 295X25 front rotors and 8.5" wide wheels ... I imagine my 51 could roll in the same situation.
