You are cruising down the Highway. It's Freezing and it's raining, come sleetin and all you want to do is edge your way smoothly with the traffic and get to your warm home.
Prepare a quick dinner and continue reading Descartes, whilst sipping away at some Napolean Brandy.
Suddenly all the traffic slows to a crawl.
Creeping along, everything you come to seems normal. Then you hear faint Alternating Horns.
So you know emergency vehicles are approaching
somewhere nearby and as you crawl another 5-10minutes.
You see the Red and Blue lights flashing on the other side of the carriageway.
If it's a Deadun, its a Deadun.
If it's an Ambo job, it's an Ambo Job.
To Stop it getting Hot is an Firies Job.
What business has it got to do, with people who have to slow and gawk at it.
Can someone tell me why.

Nothing ... there is nothing fascinating about it. It is what is means something not being at home with. It is just instinctive that we pause, or halt, at scenes most unworthy to the eye, or stay stuck in confounding situations. Sometimes out of curiosity, sometimes out of fear, anger or urges to retaliate ... all these are very cumbersome and captivating emotions.

It's the slowing down to gawp that's creates the traffic jam not the accident. It's a bit sick really.
