...and the worst accident I ever had was less than 2 miles from home on a three-mile long straight stretch of a nearly deserted rural road on a clear, sunlit morning.

As more US drivers get on the road, in the major metro areas, it's not a question of IF you'll be in an accident, but WHEN. Remember that your driving safety is also affected by the LEAST safe driver on the road with you.
