Rubbernecking assholes at M50 crash

RIGHTisRIGHT

Rubbernecking is the act of gawking or staring at something of interest. A common example of rubbernecking is drivers trying to view the aftermath of a traffic accident. The term rubbernecking refers to the physical act of craning one's neck, performed in order to get a better view.

I was on the M50 South Bound on Saturday and traffic slowed to a crawl.
It turns out there was an accident on the North bound lane.
Some stupid bitch forced her way across two lanes in front of me to get a better look at whatever she might see.
She had children in the car also.

What the Hell is wrong with people?
Not just her but all the goolish wastes of space that just can't wait to spy on the worst moment of others peoples lives.

I like a quick gawk meself.

But I adapt my gawk to my driving not my driving to my gawk.

I'd never change lanes for gawkery.

Just quick-gawk and keep moving.


some people think they can just stop in the road for sht, like letting people out or picking people up.

The 'yeah think I'll just stop here cause Im the only person who exists' attitude.

Think Ill just stop here because I have a letter to post, think Ill just stop here because Im picking someone up and its inconceivable that they walk 5 meters.

Sad thing is, if they actually saw what they were trying to see - like an inside out human spattered on the road - they would puke on the steering wheel and cause a crash themselves.

Rubbernecking assholes is what I'll be doing on Valentine's Day hopefully, probably just the one asshole though, no need being greedy.

Big problem for the police. My cousin in the UK has been attached to the motorways devision for about 10 years now and he says the amount of times people cause crashes by looking at crashes is unbelievable. I'm sure on youtube I have even seen it now and again on them UK road cop shows and even in the U.S!

You can't beat seeing a couple of mangled bodies on the morning commute to be fair

I've posted before about this and my idea to have a sniper at the scene on a cherry picker. Any rubberneckers receive one warning shot through the car, encouraging them to find the accelerator.... ta-da! no more gawking!
