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)

A car has a flat on the Interstate at 7:30 a.m. and traffic will stop completely by 8:00 am as gawker's got to "nose" it all. Long after the spare is mounted and the car move out into traffic, on it's way again, people will be inching along and stopping every few feet probably for at least another 30 minutes. They finally reach the point where all are still stopping and the gawkers see nothing so they lean out the window and ask a hothead like me what is going on.
I rant easy. I get the bird more than anyone in America as I tell the gawkers how the cow ate the cabbage.
The best moment is when you get to work late and the management pricks looking for ways to feel self important, dock a 1/2 day from your earned time off with pay for being late.
The concrete barriers in the middle of the interstates is a blessing in disguise. Rubberneckers can't see the other side and traffic moves at a good flow until a hub cap flys off a wheel ahead and here it goes again.
