Yeh, i noticed that as well when i came here [from somewhere i'd rather not
mention :].  Maybe it's the altitude.  Actually, i also have noticed a
preponderance of drivers that sit in the left lane as they crawl by the
"slower traffic keep right" signs.  So, i suspect that the tailgaters are
attempting to make a statement about moving slower drivers to the right.
