Why?

If you've raised children you know that one thing you will frequently hear them ask is, "why?" Why do we have to go, why do I have to do that, and why is the sky blue?  However, when you're driving I frequently see a driver do something and ask myself, "why?" Here are some of my favorite "why" driving questions and some possible answers.  You may have better answers-let me know.
