In my high school’s Drivers Ed class I distinctly remember the one-question pop quiz: “What is the most dangerous mile of road?”

The answer was “the mile in front of you”

Additionally there was some statistic about the frequency of accidents within a very short distance of the drivers residence, which seemed to underscore the importance of being aware of just how much your brain filters out the “familiar” in contrast to a newly stimulating environment.

I had always assumed the "close to home" numbers were just bad statistics, because I never saw them control for % of driving that was done "close to home".

If I google it, I get like three pages of law firms.
