Force of habit. It's like when you call a girl who recently gave you her number, and then ask if she's home when you call her, even though land lines went the way of the dodo ten years ago.
Even worse is when somebody insists on passing you when they're making a right turn in 1/5 block. To pull off a right turn, Seattle people stop their vehicle, contemplate the meaning of life for a few minutes, then start their turn ... so passing a cyclist doesn't really get them anything. And yet they all do it.
