Drivers are being warned the Autumn clock changes could increase the risk of evening accidents.<\/p>\n
Research by Insure the Box shows the number of traffic collisions between 5pm and 8pm increases by 30 per cent compared to October.<\/p>\n
The findings are based on three years of data gathered from 333,000 boxes the company has installed on vehicles.<\/p>\n
Charlotte Halkett, general manager communications for Insure The Box said: “There is no doubt accident risk increases as a direct result of the clocks going back one hour in Autumn.
For many young drivers, the evenings after the clock change will be their first experience of driving in the dark, coping with quite different conditions including reduced visibility.<\/p>\n
She called on young drivers to ensure they take a “safe and sensible approach to driving as we head into the winter months”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
