Clocks should be going forward to save lives
Todays move to put the clocks back will cost over 100 lives on UK roads between now and April, according to the Local Authority Road Safety Officers’ Association (LARSOA). This morning the clocks were turned back one hour plunging the country into darkness during the afternoon and evening rush hour. LARSOA is campaigning to move time forward throughout the year so there is an extra hour of daylight during the afternoon in winter months. The move would save lives, reduce the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions and cut average household energy bills, it claims.
