Another couple of reasons, though i agree with stupid wheels and concrete springs being a big reason.
So many people are driving cars too big and wide for their competence, you only have to go near a car park to see this in all its glory, helped no end by buying cars with the turning circle of Titanic.
Tailgating, they have to sit on the crown of the road for two reasons, 1. in a vain attempt to intimidate or force the driver in front (who can't go anywhere cos he's following) faster, they try to burn teh driver in front with glare from their eyes. 2. because they are jammed right up the vehicle in front they have no field of vision at all and are too thick to realise why, hence crown of road to see round.
It can be quite amusing if you have one of these idiots behind to travel quite normally for some time, then when you approach a kerbed centre refuge to just skim your offside wheels past it, that sometimes wakes them up.
I followed in fascination a young chap with a young lady passenger one day on the way to work, absolutely torrential rain and this clown is jammed right up the back of this lorry in the maelstrom of storm force spray its kicking up, i sat back about 200 yards and i could barely make the car out at all in that deluge, a future statistic there, hope the young lady finds someone with a brain and moves on before the inevitable, you just know young clown will always drive like this.

its been filled by 4x4's that can ride pot holes and don't fall apart or break springs.
