| Hm, I'm told rubbernecking does occur in England. Perhaps I just never noticed because the accidents in England (except perhaps in London) aren't scattered every few hundred feet like they are around here. Hm, is it perhaps just capital cities, or are accidents so prevalent elsewhere in America too? Now I mention it, I don't recall seeing any accidents any time we've been away from DC and surrounding states.

| We get lots of accidents here (SF Bay Area, CA). It's impressive, the amount of bad driving that goes on, to the extent that rubbernecking causes its own accidents. So, yeah. If you want to see some fun fender-benders, come on down. |

| Well, I'm in Kansas, so whenever there's an accident in our town, there is much rubbernecking. |

| I just moved from Seattle WA to Missoula MT (for a change of pace), and the quality of driving here is absolutely horrid. The population is small, under 60,000, but a good seventy (or more) percent of the drivers havent been familiarized with all the fancy gagetry of this modern age. Blinkers, Brakes, right aways, its all taboo. Rubbernecking is nearly a televised pastime. A non related question- are all college towns (such as this one) so feveriously alligned with their football team? I have never lived anywhere like this before. Every business seems to display some 'GRIZ' (the unfortunate nickname of the team) propaganda. Even the police cars have grizly (sp?) bears painted on them. The bus line is called Mountain GRIZ line. I just today saw an armored transport service called GRIZ Security (very inventive). |
