This is because they want to *win.*  Never mind that there are 27 billion
cars in front of them which puts them in 27 billion and 1th place.  This
is
just like the people who speed up to get to the red light--the one who
gets
there first wins.  They use more gas, put more wear on the car, and
probably
have a lot more incidents and pay more for insurance so I'm not sure what
they think they are winning.
