How to avoid accidents at intersections?

There was a young driver who would always accelerate hard before coming to any intersection. He would barrel right through it and slow down again on the other side. One day he took a passenger who was understandably unnerved by his
driving style.

"Why on earth do you step on the gas before every intersection?" the anxious passenger asked.

"Well," the young man replied, "I read that you are ten times as likely to have an accident at an intersection as anywhere else, so I try to spend as little time in them as
possible."
