Daylight Savings Time has been found to increase car accidents throughout the country as people have increased sleep deprivation and a change in light conditions. While “falling back” does not show the same level of increase in accidents, it is important to be aware of the increased darkness in the evening as both cars and people become harder to see. Remember safe driving tips: get plenty of rest, don’t drive distracted, reduce speeds and following distances, watch for deer, use your headlights and remember to yield.
