Interesting, although there has to be recognition that there is considerable under-reporting when it comes to accidents that don't involve injury.
I had not thought about accident stats, I do check traffic volumes on some roads, and look for alternates. Sometimes it will be obvious, like a large office park emptying out at the same time each day, just avoid those times and you will be golden.
