Has rubbernecking gotten a lot worse lately? Maybe there are more accidents so there is more of it??

We have a huge sweeping exit ramp that most people take at 40mph..... i had the guy in front of me STOP to rubberneck over a barrier and down a hill...... as I beeped and passed them on the berm he immediatly started throwing his hands in the air and his wife (fat) was screaming at me.

My bad....I like getting rearended due to others stupidity.

Today on the way to work the entire 3 lanes north all turn into brake lights.....for an accident heading the other direction.... blaaa

 

we need to make that illegal

 

It's always been like that, as long as I can remember.

 

Just drive around them? Not sure what is more reckless, but I'm not keen on sitting around behind an idiot driver.

 

Yea man I am sick of that sh*t too. I will start honking non stop when I see those rubberneckers on the road.

 

Don't see a lot of that over here, people just don't care really unless theres 3 ambulances and theyre JUST getting the guys on the stretchers. Otherwise, another one bites the dust!

 

In Atlanta, I've seen 5 or 6 lanes of traffic creeping from gawker's block for someone getting a ticket or changing a tire on the other side of the hiway!

 

Just couldn't let the fat thing go could you?


Anyway. Yesterday traffic was backed up on 1-71 from downtown columbus to the Morse road exit 8 miles. i thought it was a bad accident and it was but it was on the other side of a three lane highway divided by a 4 foot concrete wall. I hate rubberneckers.

 

They need to create an inflatable wall that totally covers up the accident site form rubberneckers.

 

Sometimes after waiting in an all-stop traffic for 2 hours, you kinda would like to know wtf, you know? Yeah it could get annoying when peeps don't pay attention to the road.

One time, I got stuck in traffic for 2 hours traveling a total of 2 miles. When I got to the point of the accident, I did kind of want to know if I should be sad that something horrible had happened or mad that some jackass decided to race in the middle of the freeway during traffic hour. It turned out a cement truck had toppled over and peeps were cleaning it up. Took a good 5 second glance and it really was a w000w site, then stepped on it.
