This is why you should always drive *away* from the accident.

A car accident can cause traffic for two reasons. First, the stoppage of a car in such a dramatic fashion will usually mean a lane closure, which results in double the amount of cars having to pile into a single lane.

Second, people can begin “rubbernecking” at the accident, slowing down to see exactly what happened and who the particular asshole is who had the gall to crash their car and make them late to work!

This guy was in the latter camp, approaching a car that had crashed and asking how on Earth it came to be in such a state in the middle of the road. Then, the crashed car blew up.

Don’t trust a burning car, kids!
