End of Daylight Savings in Brattleboro: Pedestrian Slaughter On Their Roads

Updated 11/16

Honestly, is this the great New York Times newspaper? How can they be such idiots. We are losing minutes of daylight at the greatest rate of the year on a day to day bases. And then we got to the end of daylight saving.
 
If you count back 16 days, what significant event occurred around Nov 1 you idiot. How about the end of daylight savings.
 
In our studies in Brattleboro 2013, we discovered the greatest risk when most of the accidents happened was about from 6 pm to 9 pm. I blame it on our slow adaption to fewer daylight hours and not adequate reflective gear. We didn't have such rates in the morning, many of ours were the elderly. Maybe eye issues or drunk. So the amount of people walking on and near our roads and a high disabled and elderly population walking in that period between 6-9 pm.
