the vast majority of time I'm being tailgaited it's one of 3 situations:

  1. Rushhour traffic, and there's no where to pull over to, and I'm pacing the car in front of me (and generally beside me. Or I'm passing because, you know. traffic.)

  2. driving home late at night. The highway is basically empty (and I'm never in the furthest-left lane,) it's me and the other guy and for whatever reason they want to suck my exhaust for 5 miles before figuring out that I'm not going to suddenly drive faster just because they creeped up on me from 5 miles back.

  3. they're drunk and are pacing me because they can't really stay on the road otherwise.

none of these circumstances lends to your "just".
