Time to "fall back", not asleep!!
Sunday, November 6 is the day that the clocks are turned back one hour. That one hour change can have several effects:
•Turning the clock back affects your body's internal clock.
•You are likely to be fatigued until your body has adjusted to the time change.
•You may be commuting in the dark more frequently, which you haven't done in six months.
•Incidences of drowsy driving crashes are much higher during the first weeks following the time changes.
After the time change
In the fall and winter, with nights coming early and fog often occurring, be sure to have your head lights on and follow at a safe distance.
During hunting season, deer will be trying to avoid hunters and may cross roadways.
Please see our page of tips for avoiding crashes with deer.
Getting your snowmobile ready for winter?
Snowmobile information is available at the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Wear your helmet when snowmobiling - it's the law!
