Rejected petition Keep british summertime to save lives
More details
why do we have to change the clocks when all it does is cause the days to be shorter and the roads more dangerous for children as it already naturally goes darker but with the change in clock it means that it will be dark before many children get home and also the elderly are more vunerable with the dark nights.
in the winter months when it is darker there are more accidents/deaths on the road and with children getting injured just coming home from school.
if the clocks stayed at summertime we would still have dark nights as thats just natural and it would be much safer for everyone. no other country is daft enough to change the clocks so why should we.
