As I am on the road a few hours each day I observe a lot of different driving styles both good and bad. While I am not the best driver I am pretty safe and on the ball when I drive. Some of the crazy things I see do bother me somewhat but there is one thing which I do not understand and just drives me absolutely bananas. So here is the scenario, I am on the highway and the traffic in front of me is stop and and go. I figure probably an accident and check on the radio to verify. I can kinda understand when accidents happen and feel some empathy for those involved. Now I find out the accident is on the other side of a divided highway and the accident should have no impact on my side of the highway.

Quick Question why is my side of the highway slowed down if the accident is on the other side? Let me understand this, there is nothing from the accident causing the traffic on my side of the highway to be slowing down except people want to have a look at the accident. WTF? Listen people there is a really good reason not to slow down. It is freaken dangerous and can cause more accidents and it pisses me off to no end! The most frustrating part of this whole thing is as soon as you get parallel to the accident the traffic speed returns to normal. So those who feel the need to be a lookie loo at the next accident do me a favour and just drive off the road and allow us who want or need to get somewhere the opportunity to keep going.
