My husband is in a band, and they practice after work two nights a week. I am nervous every night until he gets home. But Thursday nights in particular really make me nervous. After a long four days of work, he's tired, and it's dark out. Add to this the fact that more people go out on Thursday nights, which means the number of tipsy drivers increases. Tonight is particularly concerning because there is a Patriots game-- even more crazy drivers on the road.
Ed's work is only 8 miles from home, and his band's practice space is a mile closer to home than that. That means later tonight he will travel 7 miles, on mostly back roads. A short and safe drive, right? Wrong. Check out this survey on Insurance.com, "where accidents occur most" . Now, I haven't done math since "Probabilty and Statistics for the Liberal Arts Major" 12 years ago, but I think this chart means that Ed has a 70 percent chance of getting in an accident whenever he drives home.
