EDIT: It seems our assumption was correct, at least for the UK:
> There is substantial evidence that fewer people would be killed and seriously injured on Great Britain’s roads if this country were to put the clocks forward by one hour throughout the year. The Department should take the lead in re- examining the practice of changing clocks at the end of British Summer Time with other central Government departments.
I wonder why the OP study (using US data) found something different?

- Izkata 7y agoFirst thought without even trying to compare the DST shift directly to guess a reason: Comparing sunrise and sunset across the year, London to Chicago, London is slightly more extreme across the year. London: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/uk/london https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/uk/london Chicago: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/chicago https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/chicago Assuming my co-workers are typical, workday also seems to end more like 5:30pm in London vs 5pm in the US.
