peardrops Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Heading towards Chesterfield there were so many fire engines, police and ambulances. Anyone know what happened? The weather conditions were atrocious this morning and it was so dark - was this a case of excessive speed in awful conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallpaul Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Not wishing to be rude...but does it matter? If it's serious, it'll be on the news. If not, it wont. This is not directed at you peardrops, but the public's fascination with death and destruction is why there are so many associated collisions at accident scenes caused by rubber-necking..

I wouldn't want to speculate on that accident but conditions were pretty diabolical this morning. It amazes me how we all continue to risk our lives just to get to work.

People awill always do this. I think rubber necking should be compulsory and then people might see what accidents are actually like and take more care.

I don't know about rubber necking being 'compulsory'....but I think following a test pass, a trip to the morgue to see a post mortem, would make people think twice about how they drive...

I was in Iceland and there were 2 cars which had been in a massive multiple fatality accident up on a stand at the roadside with a sign telling passers by what had happened.
