We all hate when there's a traffic jam because people slow down to look at an accident, but when we see an accident/police/etc we slow down to look at it, amirite?

No - if I give in to the urge to rubberneck, it justifies everyone else slowing down traffic to do it. Plus, rubbernecking is one of the most common causes of accidents.

I've always called it gaper's block. I'm not sure if I've ever heard the term rubberneck.
