Actually there was an overall reduction in accidents, which is why RosPA and others are campaigning for keeping BST in winter and BST +1 in the summer.Lord of the Teapot said:Some time in the 1970's 'we' stoped changing the clocks. If I remember rightly the darker mornings led to more road accidents so we went back to changing the clocks again.

What a load of old cock is altering the clocks twice each year!
Business with Europe is affected.
Burglary increases by 25%. (figure from Ass. Insurers).
Personally I have to alter a total of 13 clocks/timers.
One probably uses 1hr of 'saved' time doing this alteration of clocks.
Do we really need to do this? Originally it was to aid farmers during WW2. I consider that this antiquated piece of legislation should be consigned to the dustbin of history!
I've got better things to do with my "time" than p*ss about changing clocks. For God's sake let's not do it on this occassion.![]()
