That works for accidents, too. A friend of mine always says that an

is going to happen at a give place at a give time so the less time you spend
in any one place the less likely you will have an accident.

Careful with that reasoning. I know you were joking but I know a company
that runs a fleet of trucks and one was involved in a fatality accident. A
young lady and her child veered across a median into oncoming traffic, hit one
of their trucks and both were killed.
The family sued and in court it came out that the truck was moving at 3-5
mph over the posted speed limit. The attorney argued successfully that if the
truck had not been speeding they would not have been at that place at that
time, and the lady might not have hit anyone.
It cost the company many thousands of dollars.
