Indeed, because daylight savings actually kills people. For a few weeks after a daylight savings change, vehicle collision fatalies noticeably increase, along with other serious accidents. It's simply due to disruption of sleep patterns, which takes a few weeks for people to adjust to.

Not all nation states use daylight savings time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time#/media/File:DST_Countries_Map.png
