The act of looking at something as you drive by. People do it when they come past an accident. Also tourists do it when they are observing the scenery when they are driving. It quite often causes traffic to slow down because the person looking generally slows down a bit to look out their window or windshield.
"That tourist in front of us is just rubber necking and causing this traffic jam."
"If that guy hadn't been rubber necking I wouldn't have been late for work."

when all of the sudden traffic gets really heavy and there is no reason for there to be so much traffic until you move up enough to see an accident. all the cars are slowing down and rubber necking to see the car accident which causes another accident and more rubbernecking and so on.

Euphemism used by the euroraepean people, to surreptiously confuse the act of motorists, gaping at traffic accidents with enough intensity to slow down progression and clog traffic arteries, with the more nefarious act, of gaining proximal social cohesion and integrity, via thepleasures of viewing disaster spectacles, communally. The term's allusive name is meant to make the listner picture a person with an actual rubber neck, thus burying the term's real significance in an air of comedic ignorance for those uninitiated in the peculiarities of the "culture."
The rubber necking motorists, crammed bumper to bumper in the street, shared a psychic ecstacy, at the sight of the mangled crash victims being pulled from the wreckage . The drivers' and passengers' pulses began to race in time at the spectacle, and their elavated rush of adrenaline would, much later, reveal its latent effects, in the high-pitched laughter and general joviality, of those who had earlier witnessed the dismal scene.

A bloke who stands at a bar and loses control over the motor functions in his neck as birds walk past, hence the term 'rubber'necking.
