Why do people feel the need to do this?


1. People want affirmation that whatever happened couldn't happen to them.

2. People are curious/excited about any carnage that represents a break from their daily life and routine.

3. People want to confirm that those involved in the accident are every bit of an idiot as what they imagined.

I assume most of the traffic is due to the lanes being blocked by said accident before they move the cars off the road. Once they clear that from the road, the rubbernecking does make it worse, but thats not why traffic is backed up for miles.
