Are Accidents More Likely To Occur Closer To Home?



Are Accidents More Likely To Occur Closer To Home?

If you are going to be involved in an accident, chances are it will happen close to your home.

Progressive Insurance polled 11,000 of its policyholders who experienced accidents in 2001.

They found that 52% were involved in accidents within five miles from there home and 69% were involved in accidents within ten miles from their home.

Only 17% of those polled experienced accidents beyond twenty miles from his or her home (Strillacci, 2002).

To some people, this is major news and would deter them from driving.

I would hope this statistic would not do this to you. I anticipate this article will actually give you confidence in driving short, and long, distances from your home as well as show you the important role insurance plays in our lives.

As I already showed statistically, you are likely to get into an accident within 10 miles from your home.

Before this scares you into never driving again take a moment to think about that statistic.
