Unless you're one of those drivers that causes pileups behind you because you're too much of a balloon foot, for which you can be ticketed for...
Aerodynamic lift reduces the traction avaliable to the tires, and in the event of an emergency (freeway-speed swerving or hard braking), high degrees of lift can cause your tires to lose traction, making you lose control. Unless you're an idiot, you should know that.
