A Lincolnshire PCSO has condemned rubbernecking motorists after emergency personnel experienced '˜a few scary moments' at the scene of a collision yesterday (Wednesday).

“Please look ahead and drive slowly. Thank you.”
The act of being distracted by a nearby traffic collision while driving (colloquially known as ‘rubbernecking’), instead of focusing on the road ahead, is one of the most common reported causes behind distraction-related incidents and traffic jams on the roads.
