"Some studies do show that changing the clock increases the traffic accident rate. Following the spring shift to Daylight Saving Time (when one hour of sleep is lost) there is a measurable increase in the number of traffic accidents that result in fatalities. Some suspect that the change in lighting conditions confuses drivers in their regular commutes. Others speculate that it relates more to the amount of sleep a person gets. Still others suspect that people hurry because they have looked at an incorrect clock and discover that they are late. And a few even suggest that the traffic accidents are caused by people trying to reset the clocks in their cars while driving."
And also:
"DST is particularly unpopular among people working in agriculture because the animals do not observe it"
