i have recently thought about this too and i haven't decided yet.

one would think that familiarity SHOULD breed caution due to known dangers. i know this is true, but OTOH, i have noticed that on occasion i have, as you say, blown through a couple of intersections that i shouldn't have. i had become overconfident that nobody EVER comes from THAT direction, if at all, and then one day someone does.

i think i know the answer. use the same route AND use caution.
