And route and time of day, weather, that sort of thing. A 15 min drive in Baltimore isn't the same as a 15 min drive in Salt Lake City

Yes to all of above. If I drive 200 miles home to farm after visiting folks, I call. If I drive 15 miles home after visiting friends, no.

Thanks! Not a scientific poll, just wondering how things differ & are similar.

To be clear, it's more of a motor vehicle accident check in than a random violent incident check in thing. Not sure if that was your q.

Most people are at least a *little* neurotic. Worrying about a loved one bleeding out in a ditch b/c of a drunk driver is natural.

I'm hugely neurotic. I'm also pragmatic. If they're capable of using a phone, they already called 911.
