Why do people have to slow traffic on the freeway down to a crawl or a stop because someone has a flat tire?

Question

Traffic is so bad and people hate sitting in traffic, so why don't people who drive slow stay in the slow lanes (the right lanes) and allow faster traffic to pass. Why does everyone have to slow down and look at any car on the side of the road no matter what the reason? If people would just focus on driving and not playing traffic games (power tripers), or have to be rubber necks....... if they would just pull there heads out and drive, there would be less traffic problems and less road rage. People need to be alert, considerate, and focused on the road ahead and just drive.

Answer 1

A lot of curious people out there who drives slow just to see what is going on. Find that quite annoying, you're on the road because you have some where to go not because you need something to entertain you while you're driving. People need to stop cruising on go on about their business, not everyone have all the time in the world when they have someplace to attend.

Answer 2

did you have a bad trip on the freeway today?

Answer 3

good question.  I don't understand this type of behavior either especially when something happens on one side(opposite direction) of freeway with median, the traffic comes to a complete halt on other side of the freeway. why don't they just drive to whereever they want to go? this really kills me. I guess curiosity and inconsideration.
