My point is that given equal lighting morning is probably going to be worse for driving because of road conditions.

If we then have to add darkness to one of those, adding it to evening will probably be less damaging because evening has a larger safety margin due to better road conditions.

Adding darkness to morning is taking what is already the hardest case and making it even worse.

But currently more accidents happen at night than they do in the early morning, even when morning darkness factored in.
