Edit: I guess "c*ck my head" isn't allowed by the word filter so how about "I have to stretch my neck to see around the mirror during turns"
Same. I almost have to stand up when making left turns in an intersection so I can see where the median curb is and make sure to avoid it.

As for tailgating... happens all the time. If I can, I usually just set my cruise at 70 in the center lane and hope people pass me.
