I'll be honest when I'm going less than 5 miles I'm a jean and jacket and sneaker or boot and helmetrider. When I know I'm going for a "ride" full A* suit. I love that thing.
At the same time I dont have as many threats as you "bay" riders have though de to all the idiot drivers.
Most accidents occur close to home...
"Home Sweet Home" -- Not really when it comes to road accidents. Homes are no longer the haven that we consider them to be because accidents tend to occur when a driver is nearing his or her own home. People are a lot safer when they are quite far away from their homes. This has been proved by a survey conducted by Progressive Insurance. The survey revealed that majority of car crashes occur in the vicinity of one's home. People tend to crash up their car in the roads that surround their homes.
As a part of the survey, Progressive Insurance solicited information from 11,000 of its auto insurance policyholders. These were people who had reported accidents in 2001. They were asked questions like how far from home they were when the accident occurred. A whopping seventy-seven percent of the respondents reported that they were within 15 miles of their homes.
Just something to consider...
