Good Luck.
British police are prosecuting four motorists for slowing down on busy highway to take photos of crash scene. It will be first time for drivers in Britain to face prosecution for "rubbernecking" – act of looking back at grisly scene, usually while driving car. four rubberneckers slowed down to snap shots of crash on other side of the road. Drivers behind them were forced to brake to avoid hitting the rubberneckers. Police at scene said photo-taking motorists had been "acting irresponsibly" in slowing down to use their mobile phones to take photos. They will be charged with driving without due care and attention and without reasonable consideration for other road users.

Police officer Shelley Holloway spoke to journalists about incident. She said: "Thankfully nobody was injured in collision. However the actions of several motorists who drove through scene showed no regard for their own or of other people’s safety, as they used their mobile phones to record or video wreckage as they passed. In doing so, they were not in proper control of their vehicle. They slowed down causing motorists behind them to brake or take evasive action and slow flow of traffic that was already heavily congested." She added that: "One of causes of serious injury and fatal collisions is use of mobile telephones." She urged motorists to lock their phones away when driving.
