Will bi-annual time change be dropped in near future?

The daylight saving time wasn't made for farmers.

Also Scots

As I said it saves lives.
Don't Change the clocks and you have people traveling to work, and school, in darkness.
It's a recipe for dead kids.

Well school kids aren't involved but in winter, you have people traveling home in darkness.

[KRonn]

There really doesn't seem to be a good idea for this anymore. Not even sure what the original idea was for, during wartime or something? I'd be fine and would vote for keeping one time year round, whether that's daylight slaving time or winter time.

In the uk it is unavoidable to have one of them in the dark, might  as well make the most dangerous one and the one involving kids safer

[HisMajestyBOB]

Split the difference and use winter time +30min.

I don't understand how anyone can be so physically and emotionally frail that moving the clocks one hour throws their entire lives off for more than 20 minutes.

I heard that the morning of the forward change is a really bad day for car accidents.

I don't see why it is necessary / I'll admit that most of the time, I don't change my clocks...I just adopt a new rule for telling what time it is.

It makes for a better movie if people are upset.

the idea being, that fresh out of their bed, half asleep before the first 3 coffees, a lot of people would fall asleep at the wheel* in the morning, rather than after 7h-8hrs of work and half a dozen coffees.

I suppose it could happen.

*or simply have less attention on the road.

[Valmy]

If Daylight Savings time is so great why not just have it year round. We could rename it 'time' instead and save everybody a bunch of trouble.

[Eddie Teach]

Or just get up and go to bed earlier. Like old people.

[Grinning_Colossus]

It causes more than just health problems.
