The earlier Daylight Saving Time allowed more people to travel home from work and school in daylight, which is much safer than darkness.

Because people get home from work and school and complete more errands and chores in daylight, Daylight Saving Time also seems to reduce people's exposure to various crimes, which are more common in darkness than in light. www.standardtime.com
