Road Safety GB is campaigning for the government to change over to Double British Summer Time to give lighter evenings all year round to help all road users on their journeys from work or school.

As well as other environmental benefits, the most recent government research (Broughton and Sedman, “The Potential Effects on Road Casualties of Double British Summer Time”, TRRL 228: 1989) shows that, every year, this would save around 450 deaths and serious injuries on the roads including between 104 to 138 fewer deaths.
