Rubber Necking

Oh please tell me what the morbid fascination is with looking at accidents on the other side of the carriageway?

Apart from the delay that it causes to the one part of that road that was running freely until the rubber necking clan decided to take a look at the accident, it is really rather daft. Perhaps that isn't strong enough... It is no less than stupid.

Not so long ago, I observed a person deliberately indicate from the inside lane to the outside lane of a Motorway to take a look at an accident on the other side of the carriage way. I kid you not, as soon as he had taken a look he indicated to get back into the inside lane!

If we (as a human race) can't break this inhumane addiction to looking at road accidents we will turn the M25 into a Stock Car circuit.
