I think it's common to subconsciously relax mentally near home and on roads we travel frequently. Our brains think... "Heck,, we're on those roads all the time, so no need to be hyper alert, right?"
How many times have you heard of someone dropping their bike either right near their home, up their driveway, or in their garage after a long trip or long ride? I think we say to, ourselves "Ah, we made it!" just a bit too soon.
Vigilance and situational awareness are two things we need to practice, but I also believe luck comes into play a bit too.
