There is yet another reason to quit the twice-yearly tradition of changing our clocks back and forth an hour. A new study found that sticking to daylight saving time would mean fewer deer being hit by cars.
Some people might say there are far too many deer, and there are certainly millions more of them now than there were when Europeans first arrived on the continent. But culling them with car crashes probably isn't the way to go.
“Wildlife-vehicle collisions are a huge and growing problem,” said postdoctoral researcher Calum Cunningham, who co-led the team. “There are social costs, people killed and injured, and it’s also a conservation problem as it’s one of the largest sources of human-caused mortality of wildlife.” The team also compared the data with what would happen if standard time, which is used from early November until mid-March the following year, was adopted permanently. This would apparently lead to an additional 73,660 deer being hit and another 66 people being killed, with another 4,140 injured and an additional $2.39 billion lost. Permanent daylight saving time reduced hits by 2.3% over a full year.
