Setting your Clock back can Kill You
The most dangerous day of the year?
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, the road casualty rate - which sets accidents against miles driven - peaks each year in November.
RoSPA blames the increase on the clocks going back at the end of British Summer Time - and it says scrapping this changeover would mean 450 fewer deaths and serious injuries from road accidents.
See, this is dumb.
Time changes are a useful convenience. The mindset here is "well, we have to make our lives worse so that we can drive more safely."
The mindset we need is "we should figure out a way to stop driving so we can live like civilized people."
Driving sucks.
