Did you know that Daylight Saving Time Saves Lives?

If you are like most people, you have been tired so far this week. many of us are adapting to the change of time I wanted to through out some facts.

Did you know that the Daylight Savings Time Saves Lives?

In 1975 the U.S. DOT conservatively identified a 0.7% reduction in traffic fatalities during Daylight Savings Time, and estimated the real reduction to be 1.5% to 2%.

In 1995 the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimated a reduction of 1.2%, including a 5% reduction in crashes fatal to pedestrians.

I heard that Daylight Savings Time was started to conserve energy. Now I found out it also saves lives.
