Not sure about other parts of the country, but people around here damn near stop to take pictures of a small accident instead of just driving past. Who ing cares if there is an accident.....

somehow on a 4 lane (2 each way) interstate, you can have both sides backed up for miles due to all the assholes who slow down to 15mph to try and watch the accident scene. You end up sitting in traffic forever to find out it isn't even on our side!!!

 

You're not alone - we get that all the time down here in FL. Between the old people who normally drive at 15mph, the people who see a cop car w/ lights flashing and decide to slam on their brakes (even though they're already doing way less than the speed limit), and the rubber-neckers, you can bet that you'll be sitting in traffic for close to an hour - even for just a minor fender-bender.

 

SoCal rubbers are soo......bad!!! Piss me off all the time!

 

Houston has got to be the worst when it comes to rubbernecking. An accident, or parked car w/ hazards, or a mobile home trailer w/ a flat tire will just about freeze both sides of any freeway down here.

It got so bad once, that the guy in front of me fell asleep during one of these parking lot situations. Honking didn't wake him up, so we all had to go around him and made the situation even worse.

Our previous mayor also decided to work on every major thouroughfare at the same time so that it would be impossible to not be affected by traffic.

Hey, but I'm not bitter.

 

ahaha... glad to see everyone else has to endure what I get to. It is amazing that rubber necking alone could cause a 2-3 mile traffic jam on a 4-6 lane highway. Retards!


I agree also about that cop with his lights on..... at that point it would be pretty hard for them to clock people since they are writing up a different guy, but people here also slam on their brakes even if we aren't even going over the speed limit.

 

It's nation wide. That and people that go slow in the left lane just kill me!

 

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse after an accident occurs.

Houston also has about 10-20 tow trucks parked all over the place with their lights flashing at every accident. They actually have a "drawing" to see which one will tow the disabled car.

The newly elected mayor just changed that policy, so we'll have to see if it will be any better.

My 30k mile a year commute doesn't affect me anymore.

 

yea sometimes i wish they would build the center dividers higher so you can't see opposing traffic
