I think they should show, at the end of the news (or, even better, in the ad breaks on things like Big Brother and EastEnders) some pictures of severe accidents, with all the attendant gore and mess.

And then a big caption: "ARE YOU fkING HAPPY NOW? YOU DON'T NEED TO BLOCK THE OTHER fkING CARRIAGEWAY BY SLOWING DOWN FOR A GAWP. THIS IS WHAT AN ACCIDENT LOOKS LIKE, YOU S."

Today's incident was J22 on the M25 clockwise. Stopped for a shunt and debris clearance from across all 3 lanes. Opposite carriageway all-but-stopped by nothing more than ghoulish tossers.

Whilst not condoning it, I can understand the natural human reaction to gawp.

What I can't understand is the need to slow down.

Surely a quick glance across is sufficient to note a big accident. Does it really require brakes on for the full monty stare??

Same reason as why people form a ring around a fight - Deep down, for all our love of peace, we are magnetically drawn to violence, injury, danger and to an extent, death.

These are the same people who can't breathe with their mouths closed and walk at the same time, I expect.
