No, no. You've got it all wrong. They just want to watch the entire thing play out in the middle of traffic. Gotta slow down so they don't miss a moment

This happened yesterday. Guy rolled his car in front of my house. I was directing traffic before the sheriff arrived. Half the time I raised my hand to stop a car, they'd keep driving because they weren't paying attention. then they'd drive as slow as possible.

Them damn rubbernecks cause more accidents...lol Buddy of mine drives tow truck and have an uncle who's retired 5-0. People slowing down to stare often end up joining the calamity, not merely witnessing it. Some of thier stories are horrific.

I know, I was being sarcastic. People slow down just to watch and that's what backs shit up and causes more problems.

I hear ya. I was stuck behind a four car pile-up the other day due to everyone having to catch a peek as they passed. It confused everyone and the cop almost got hit directing traffic all because someone wasn't looking where they were going. Morbid curiosity is understandable, it is, but not at the expense of further complicating matters.

Daily dose of schadenfreude. Some people just can't live without it.
