Fall Driving Interview

Judy Rife, of the Times Herald-Record of Middletown NY, wrote an article published on October 10, 2011, about the dangers of sun glare while driving in the fall. The article, "A sure sign of autumn: sun glare when driving", is based in part on an interview Judy did with me recently.  It contains some driving tips to keep in mind at this time of year.  You can read the article re-printed on our web site here, or you can read the original.

Daylight Saving Time 2011

For those of you in North American jurisdictions that observe Daylight Saving Time, don't forget to 'spring' your clocks ahead one hour this Saturday night! Official time change occurs at 2:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, March 13th.

Since 2007, daylight time has begun in North America on the second Sunday in March and ended on the first Sunday in November. On the second Sunday in March, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. On the first Sunday in November, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time.

Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not use it. Indiana adopted its use beginning in 2006. In Canada, most of Saskatchewan, parts of Quebec, and Southampton Island in Nunavut do not observe daylight time.

Year   Begin        End
2007   March 11   November 4
2008   March 9     November 2
2009   March 8     November 1
2010   March 14   November 7
