Here’s TopGear.com’s roving correspondent, Cory Spondent, with his mostly incorrect exclusives from the world of motoring

Drivers across the country are resigning themselves to the clocks going back this weekend, knowing that putting up with the time being wrong will be infinitely easier than actually changing it in the settings menu.

Experts have put forward several theories to explain this national wave of apathy, but the consensus so far is that the vast majority of people ‘simply can’t be bothered’.

The phenomenon is known to pre-date the infotainment screen by several decades, and in some circles the act of subtracting an hour from the digital readout for months on end is seen as just another inevitable hardship of winter.

And despite ever-increasing digitisation, more people than ever are affected now that most new car dashboards resemble a scaled-down Times Square.

Asked if they had a deep, subconscious and emotional attachment to British Summer Time, one driver paused and then said: “Nah... I just can’t be arsed.

“Getting my radio presets right took most of my thirties, so I dread to think how long I’d need to punch in GMT. And by March it’d be wrong again. Pointless. Might as well wait it out.”

Pressed on the issue of self-updating clocks - like those found in every smartphone with a functioning SIM card - the driver added: “Ooh look at me, my car’s connected. I’m so future.’ Lah di dah. You don’t know yer born.”
