UNDATED (WHBL) - As we spring forward for Daylight Savings Time this weekend, it could cause problems driving around if you are not prepared. The state DOT wants drivers to be ready for the change in sunlight as we move our clocks forward an hour Sunday.
Larry Corsi with the Bureau of Transportation Safety says driving from work and school will be brighter, but getting there won’t be. "For a lot of drivers it will be dark as they make their morning commute," says Corsi. "Allow a little extra time for travel in the coming days."
With warmer weather expected, there will be more people biking and walking. Corsi says they too need to be prepared for the change in sunlight. "Make certain motorists see you before crossing the street or entering an intersection, and use lights, along with wearing retro-reflective or bright colored clothing," says Corsi.
Also, be prepared to be a bit groggy as your body adjusts to the time change.
