Comment Re:And in other news (Score 1) 139

To tack on... ...I explain this to my wife constantly. The reason most accidents happen close to your home is exactly as you said -- most driving occurs close to your home. I use it as a reason to have her buckle up even for short trips, but it's also a lesson in our house about manipulating statistics.

Coming up next, the percentage of American's that live "near" water.

I dropped from 70mph to 20mph in one second today (good tires) because of other idiots on the road.

First, no, you didn't do it in one second.

Second, if you had the need to drop from 70 to 20 in a second because of "other idiots on the road," unless there was an actual accident happening in front of you, I suspect that you're one of the idiots making our roads unsafe. [I mean, you were on a freeway at 70, right?]

Having owned and lived in a condo in downtown Phoenix, walking distance from BoB/Chase/Whatever field, I can assure you that even a couple hundred yards away, I hear every sound the city has to offer from that intersection.

I can only assume any city with a real downtown that what I'm saying it true in spades.

While I enjoy "the sound of the city," I'm not sure I'd enjoy hearing "10, 9, 8, 7..." repeated every minute for the rest of eternity.
