Slang: Someone who enjoys the act of slowing their vehicle to like 15 miles an hour on a motorway just so they can gawk at the wreckage of a van on its roof or a car on fire.
These people are a severe pain in the arse to emergency services, and they often cause tailbacks up to several miles.
I got held up on the M25 last night going home cause of some rubbernecker staring at a crash.

Some stupid retard that always slows down in the middle of the road just to watch some guy get arrested in the ditch! The type of guy to stare at someone taking pills and getting mad when asked to stop.
"Yo look at that stupid bitch over there"
"Yeah, he must be a rubberneck"
