Human Stupidity or Human Curiosity

So, what do you think it is, human stupidity or human curiosity, that causes traffic to get stuck?

I had to spend more than double the usual time on the road this morning to get to work, which made me about 20 minutes late.  The slowly moving traffic was caused by, i think you could say, human endeavour - there were a lot of road works. However we got talking about it at work, and the question was, what causes a traffic jam, the  temporary insanity of the driver who crashes, or all the people who slow down to see what happened?

Talking of traffic, my pet peeve is when people drive gigantic enormous car that flash light into the eyes of driver ahead of them. what is yours?
