or as another poster suggested, people might be driving more accident prone routes right now. my commute to work is a 20 mile point-to-point drive down an interstate. aside from merging, there's not much that can go wrong. a trip to the nearest grocery store is a one mile drive through a dense area of the city with many pedestrians and awkward intersections. the per mile risk of the grocery run is much higher.
