what is the difference...

...between a lookyloo and a rubbernecker?

A lookyloo is one who slows down and ties up traffic gaping at the carnage as he drives by on the shoulder, whereas a rubbernecker has to crane his head around and ties up traffic gaping at the carnage as he drives by from the opposite lane of traffic.

I hope the aid cars are on the way, because I gawp and stare but cannot help. I just want to get further on down the road.

The wreckage in this multi car, I mean multi post disaster has clogged the commerce of ideas so completely that I can't tell if I'm a lookyloo or a rubbernecker.

Either that or as some would say (and have done so in the past) that the real problem is that I just don't know if I'm coming or going...
