pedestrian accidents<\/a>.<\/p>\nMost drivers have already noticed that their commute home from work is now in the dark. Others may be commuting just as the sun is going down. In both cases, it becomes much more difficult to see pedestrians crossing in front of your vehicle.<\/p>\n
Nationally, statistics show that the rate of car-pedestrian accidents increases after Daylight Savings Time ends. Anecdotally, many people feel that the first couple weeks after the change may be the most dangerous, because commuters and pedestrians are each adjusting to the shift in time and daylight.<\/p>\n
If you usually get around on foot, it’s a good idea to invest in some reflective safety gear or other clothing to make you more visible to drivers. If you are one of the many who now commute home in the dark, please be aware that it may now be harder to see pedestrians and you may have to slow down accordingly.<\/p>\n
