3 miles from home

Hi everybody,
I've just seen a public information advert on the tele which implies that most accidents and collisions involving motorcyclists take place within 3 miles of home.
The strapline was something like ride the roads you know the same as the roads your don't, which is obviously a good sentiment and should apply equally to car drivers.
Anyway I was wondering, do most accident take place close to home?
Does this apply to all/most types of vehicle?
<Slightly jokingly>If it does, should there be an automatic presumption of blame resting on the person who is closest to home?</Slightly jokingly>
