Its when drivers slow their vehciles down, take their eyes off the road, and look around at whats going on. Sometimes, they dont slow down... but by taking you eyes off the road - you might rear end the guy in front of you. By slowing down... you slow down ALL the traffic behind you, thus making a traffic jam. That or the car behind you might rear end you!
Basically.. when you see flashing lights (of ANY kind) pay more attention to the cars all around you, they might not be paying attention - so you have to! |

LOL. Rubbernecking is turning your head to see something. Their advising you look ahead and pay attention. |

It's where you don't pay attention to the stuff in front of you when you're looking at something interesting off to the side, like a wreck or a construction site. People get killed when drivers are distracted.
The metaphor comes from the image of someone sticking their neck out to get a better view.
What you should do at a construction site is go the speed limit at the very most. Some states might even require you to slow down below that.
When passing a wreck, you are required by law to move to the opposite lane and/or slow down by 10 or 20 mph depending on state law. |

Before the initial scene of a car accident is cleared away, a second potentially dangerous phenomenon known as rubbernecking often occurs.
Passing motorists slow down considerably to observe the aftermath of the accident, or curious bystanders form a crowd around the site.
Rubbernecking can be a very dangerous practice, especially for other drivers who must negotiate both the original accident scene and the traffic snarl created by curious gawkers.
Emergency officials at an accident often try to discourage rubbernecking by forcefully directing drivers to keep moving. |
