This has nothing to do with Criminal Law, but…

What the hell is up with curiosity delays on highways? What is this morbid fascination with car accidents. What is the utilitarian purpose in slowing down, ogling at smashed cars, creating traffic jams and then speeding up? It regularly annoys me as frequently there is no real reason for a traffic jam and yet I’m stuck in one.

No one in their right mind would stare out an airplane window to watch two airplanes in the distance crash and explode in a giant fireball, so why do we do it on highways? Can’t we just acknowledge that there is an accident, drive carefully and move on? Must we slow down to a stand-still?

Rant… rant… rant.  Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you.
