When I was a teenager, we gave up the whole practice and stayed on GMT+1, but there was much fuss about children going to school in the dark. Despite accident figures showing that this was more than offset at the other end of the day:
Analysis of accident data during the experiment indicated that while there had been an increase in casualties in the morning, there had been a substantially greater decrease in casualties in the evening, with a total of around 2,500 fewer people killed and seriously injured during the first two winters of the experiment.
