          Abstract

          On January 30, 2020 Current Biology released the report "A Chronobiological Evaluation of the Acute Effects of Daylight Saving Time on Traffic Accident Risk" doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2019.12.045 by Fritz, et al., where it was argued that fatal traffic accident risk increases by 6% in the US due to Daylight Saving Time spring transition. This manuscript is a 1000 word correspondence showing that the bulk of this reported risk comes from the transition dates mandated by the Energy Policy Act in 2007.
