‘Clock-back crashes’

THE end of British Summer Time is followed by thousands more road crashes a week, according to new research.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car said over the past five years demand for replacement vehicles has increased by 8% in the two weeks after the clocks go back, compared with the previous fortnight. The clocks going back one hour tomorrow at 2am will mean lighter mornings but an earlier sunset, with darkness falling at around 4pm in December.
