When Retirement Approaches, You Should Hang up the Keys

The Basics of Nighttime Driving
Arizona may not use Daylight Saving Time, but that doesn’t mean the days don’t get shorter later on in the year. In the middle of summer, the sun sets at about 7:15 p.m., while in the winter it sets nearly two hours earlier, at about 5:30 p.m. Those early sunsets occur during some of the busiest times on Arizona’s roads, when people are driving home from work and taking the kids to and from after-school activities. And driving in the dark can be dangerous. Read the rest »
