Travelling around the country, Lady Liberty and I saw several signs on urban freeways encouraging people to get their cars off the road after fender-benders.
I won't go around calling the folks referred to in this article a bunch of names, though. Waiting for the poice and not moving things was the way most of us were taught. Now, there is need for change, and it'll have to be done state by state.

My son has a huge chevy truck with a lift kit, I have a tire for him to chain on the brush guard in case of an emergency so that he can push the kind of idiots you mention out of the way.

Just remember, half of the people out there have below average intelligence! I suspect that they are the democRATS.

What we need is the return of real chrome plated steel bumpers. The "5mph bumper" that falls off in the center lane Jap Crap just plain sucks. My crown vic may look goofy with a primered steel front & back bumper, but people don't mess with me.

This helps explain why reality TV shows get such high ratings.
And why people line up to throw the ball at the dunk tank.
Could also explain why some people are Democrats.

I drive Columbus frequently. It can be a pretty ignorant place. I have crawled through traffic jams caused by rubberneckers gawking at a COP WRITING A TRAFFIC TICKET! Not much else going on there, I guess.

I think 90% of people are below average intelligence. That's my Yogi thought for the day.

Here in Philly, people cause traffic delays by gawking at cars pulled off to the side of the road ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DIVIDED HIGHWAY ! And of course shortly thereafter, there's another fender bender caused by such gawking.
Sorry, there's no known remedy for stupidity.

We have, in Atlanta, places called Accident Investigation Areas, and you are required by law -- if your car is mobile -- to get to one of those instead of staying on the road, during fender benders.

A few miles down the road, I saw a rig that can haul that tankah.

A poster, a quick poster might have a weapon under that keyboard.
I'd have to pin his head to the monitor.

That's rubber-necking, and I hate that too. Unless it's a really cool wreck....

That makes sense. Hard to believe some government thought that up.

Not much else going on there, I guess.This kind of stupidity is everywhere. I've been in traffic jams in San Jose, CA, caused by a group of bikers pulled off to the side of the road to take their jackets off because the weather was warming up.
Another time some idiot came to a FULL STOP in front of me on a freeway on-ramp to look at someone changing a tire on the shoulder.
