Explanation
Slowing down to look at collisions or other roadside activity creates traffic congestion. When drivers slow down to observe such incidents, they obstruct the normal flow of traffic, which can lead to a buildup of vehicles behind them. This congestion can delay emergency responders who need clear access to the scene and may cause additional accidents or hazards on the road.
