Annoying verification test

I just had to do one of those really annoying verification tests, those horrible ones with pictures of cars etc but you're not quite sure if there is one in that square which means you get it wrong and have to do another one

Why is that there?

Yeah it feels like those captchas are used on damn near every other site now. They are annoying, but basically used to block spammers, bots, data thieves etc.
