Lookie Loos
I’m sure you do it too (I know I do, every so often)…you’re driving along the freeway, traffic slows, and the first thought is an accident. But, no; not in So Cal.The chances of the accident being on your side of the freeway are very slim. Most likely, traffic is coming to a complete halt because some lookie loos have to stop in the middle of the road, turn their heads away from traffic, and look at the more than likely fender-bender in the shoulder of the opposite side of the freeway. Then, as a chain reaction, all traffic must slow and as they have nothing else to do, they themselves become lookie loos.
I’ve made a decision: when traffic slows on my side of the freeway and my live-updater tells me the accident is on the opposite side, I WILL NOT turn and look. I will not stoop to becoming a lookie loo. I will not.
Today’s non-Point: DO NOT be a lookie loo. See, that was easy.
