Rubberneckers do not help at all

I would like to thank those people who insist on slowing down on the freeway to take a look at an accident that they were not involved in, causing nice, long backups for everyone else.

Next time you see an accident on the side of the road, keep going the speed limit, and don’t stare at something that you can’t fix or help.
