Does this mean that if I never let my car get closer than
25 miles to my home it will reduce my chances of being killed
in an automobile accident?  What if I lie to my car and tell
it it's far from home when it really isn't?  (I know it's not
nice to lie to cars -- this is just a thought experiment)
