There are several synonyms that can be used to describe this behavior, including gawking, ogling, staring, and peeping. Other related terms include voyeurism, prying, and snooping. While rubbernecking may seem harmless, it can be dangerous, as it takes drivers' eyes off the road and can cause them to lose focus on their own driving.
