As Georgians get ready to move their clocks forward an hour this Sunday, March 9th, AAA is reminding drivers about the dangers of Daylight Saving Time. Changing the time can disturb sleep patterns and increase the risk of drowsy driving, which is a major cause of accidents. Montrae Waiters from AAA warns that even a one-hour change can cause a mini-jetlag effect that takes time to adjust to. Drivers should watch for symptoms of drowsy driving, such as trouble keeping eyes open, drifting from lanes, and daydreaming. There is also a higher risk around schools in the mornings when it will be darker due to the time change. A study shows a rise in fatal crashes after Daylight Saving Time starts. AAA advises drivers to prioritize sleep, avoid distractions, obey speed limits, drive sober, and always wear seatbelts. Following these tips can help keep everyone safe on the road during this time change.
