Yup.
No 44 is myth and hold not much ground. It is more about people 'feel good' factor or placebo effect. Feng Shui can have placebo effect on people as well.
But house at or infront of T-junction definitely has high probability being run into by a car. For eg. a car goes straight that break malfunction, then the probability the car will run into the house in front of T-junction is higher than the road side one.
But there is no guarantee the roadside house won't be run into by car, just the house infront of T-junction, or when car cornering time, the chance of accident is higher than ordinary straight road.
There is no guarantee the house in front of T-junction will run into by car as well. Just may be the probability is higher than the rest.
again, some fact to base your findings on. what you think is logical is not necessary true. some observation is required showing T-houses have higher accident date than non T-houses. while i dont doubt your logic, its just that
1. the care need to experience brake and/or steering failure;
2. this failure need to occur on a straight road leading to the house atthe junction
3. the driver cant control care properly to stop/evade
given that in most housing area, only residents will be traveling on the road, the speed is relatively slow, modern cars generally experience very few sudden mechanical faulure, etc etc.
it is likely that the accident rate of T houses are only a fraction of a percentage higher than non T-houses for most (a negligible value)
