As if to compensate for the aforementioned wide berth.
I don't know how many times this has happened. But it seems to be every time.
I've seen that as well. I figure it has to do with the second car not having as good a view of the road ahead (because it's obstructed by the first car which has pulled wide) and thus no. 2 is cautious about pulling as far into the other lane as the first car did.
