What is the best reason to never leave your house?

I read a statistic claiming 52% of automobile accidents occur within 5 miles of your home. Wanting to be as safe as possible on the road, I immediately contemplated moving. But my wife and I really like our house. So then I began wondering, do they mean 5 miles of driving distance, or 5 miles as the crow flies? Figured I might as well err on the side of caution and assume a 5-mile radius. I got out my map and compass to construct the set of all points on the plane of the map exactly 5 miles from my abode. Anywhere along that circle would be a safe place to park my car before finding other means of transportation the rest of the way home. But I fear I’d forget where I parked along the 31.4 mile loop. Math refresher:

C = 2 π r
C = (2) (3.14) (5)
C= 31.4 miles

That’d be a long, dangerous walk to locate my lost car. Just when I was starting to think I would never leave the house again, Phoebe clued me in: they weren’t specifically referring to our home.
