Daylight Saving Time & Single-Double Summer Time
Daylight Saving Time • How does daylight saving time affect the safety of Britain's roads? • Topical debate • Previous analysis a decade old • Report publish with the support of PACTS http://bit.ly/emEbhe
Daylight Saving Time • Trends at the March DST change (clocks 'go forward' to BST) Average annual increase of 70 crashes, corresponding to an increase of 1.1% in the crash rate. • Trends at the October DST change (clocks 'go back' to GMT) Average annual increase of 285 crashes, corresponding to an increase of 3.9% in the crash rate
Daylight Saving Time Only the very far north of Scotland benefits from the change Any modest reductions in risk at certain times for particular areas or road user groups are more than outweighed by more substantial negative effects at other times.
