Aaah..Another question for "Cellar Think Tank Un-il-limited".

I'm glad to see HLJ is already on top of it and doing his job.

It is said that most car accidents occur within 15 km from home.

When I took driver's ed back as a pup, I remember this statistic being given to us very ominously by the teacher as a warning that the roads around your house are very dangerous and that you shouldn't let your guard down just because you know them well.

He had a point, but he failed to mention that the overwhelming majority of people do most of their driving withing 15 km from home, and that's why most accidents occur there.
