The arguments about accidents in Scotland caused by going to work and
school in the dark are weak because this is offset (more than offset
according to some studies, certainly in England) by an increase in
accidents in the darker afternoons. So set it - whatever it is - then
leave it alone.


Whatever they do, there will always be someone who will complain
that it has caused accidents at a certain time of day. Instead of
bleating on about this why not teach kids about road safety properly,
especially in the dark? Judging by the suicidal things I see kids doing
on the roads, this is not being done.

It's not just kids. In this town, 70% of cyclists don't use lights at
night.
