A ROAD safety charity is renewing calls to make roads safer and brighter in the evenings.

Ahead of the clocks going forward this weekend, Brake is calling on the UK government to commit to moving to Single/Double Summer Time (SDST).

Gary Rae, of Brake, said: β€œIt is such a simple and effective way to reduce deaths and injuries on our roads, and carries so many other benefits, like increased daylight leisure time, and reduced carbon emissions. I want the government to look at this much neglected issue again.”
