Rubbernecker

Slang: Someone who enjoys the act of slowing their vehicle to like 15 miles an hour on a motorway just so they can gawk at the wreckage of a van on its roof or a car on fire.

These people are a severe pain in the arse to emergency services, and they often cause tailbacks up to several miles.

I got held up on the M25 last night going home cause of some rubbernecker staring at a crash.

rubberneck

To drive slowly by a car accident (or site having emergency vehicles) and turn the head to see anything gory.

This act exacerbates traffic delays.

Crews pulled the wreckage off the highway, but drivers continued to rubberneck and cause delays.

Rubberneck

Some stupid retard that always slows down in the middle of the road just to watch some guy get arrested in the ditch! The type of guy to stare at someone taking pills and getting mad when asked to stop.

"Yo look at that stupid bitch over there"
"Yeah, he must be a rubberneck"

Rubbernecking

Idiots who slow down to gawk or stare at minor traffic accidents, pulled over drivers, or people with car trouble on the highway or roads. Rubbernecking causes traffic jams and more accidents due to drivers distracting themselves from the road.

The traffic jam was caused by rubbernecking.

Cyber Rubbernecker

Someone who likes to check out the comments section underneath online articles while aware of the absurdity and ignorance he/she will encounter.
