OT Can anyone help me understand the psychology of, stupid idiot drivers? Options

Driving home the other day on a road trip, in my 914, I notice up ahead...on the other side of Interstate 94 (around Eau Claire, WI) an accident with a large number of ambulances and cop cars...lights flashing...the whole bit. WHY DO PEOPLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ACCIDENT (SEPARATED BY A 100 FEET OF MEDIAN) HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 25MPH?!! Sure, I get curious too...but I don't slow down at all...I take a quick look and keep driving...MY SPEED UNEFFECTED! The idiots ahead of me were stacked up like they were on a checker board so I unleashed a quick burst of 500 HP V-8 anger as I slalomed through the barricade of morons. Of course, one of the dumshits hit his horn as I flew past him. It's an Alice in Wonderland world now isn't it? The left lane is now the slowest lane...people speed up when you try to pass...etc etc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

the guy in front of me did a full stop and stared for a good 10 seconds, 10 seconds that I will never get back because some idiot wanted to see something that was non of their business.

Frankly people that do that are disrespectfull of other peoples privacy and incompasionate of their fellow human beings.

That's exactly how I feel about the matter! People should drive their cars and concentrate on that alone. Instead, they behave as if they are still on the couch @ home fuching around...eating, shaving, talking on the phone, staring at other people's mistfortunes, generally just being stupid, slow and oblivious to the rest of the world. I'll bet German drivers have their heads pulled out of their asses better than we Americans.

I don't know if it's true in the rest of Europe but in France when the police get to an accident one of the pd sets up screens so the accident can't be seen from the other lanes....seems like a pretty damn good idea to me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif) oh, and no matter where you are....that is where the worst drivers are....who gives a shit about how bad it is somewhere else...when you're in the middle of it you'd just like to be a proctologist....they only deal with one asshole at a time....
