Car color and its impact on car crash and accident risk
When you’re choosing which car to buy you may just choose the colour that looks the nicest, or perhaps you’re one of the people that really doesn’t care so just chooses whichever colour the dealer has in stock or is cheapest! We envision bright reds and yellows as faster cars. Silver and white are great at hiding scratches. Green is becoming more popular. And gold shades hide dirt better (they look clean all the time). But there’s more to it than that and there is a lot at stake like your driving safety and potential accident risk.
Well researchers believe that they have discovered a link between accident risk and the colour of your car, so perhaps you should spend longer choosing which colour to buy! Many large insurance companies actually use this in their quotes and premiums. So certain color choices can and do lead to higher rates and significantly higher accident risks. And if you think about it, insurance companies spend millions of dollars on great research to find out what causes accidents and what lowers them. So, this is not some out of the blue idea. Certain color choices will definitely increase your accident risks and should be avoided.

There is a popular urban legend that says that people who own red cars get more speeding tickets than people with other colour cars, well the owners of such cars do seem to back up this legend, but it’s still not proven yet. But if you ask an honest police officer the car that stands out the most will be the one to get the ticket – in other words, the bright red car.
There has also been a reported link between personality and the colour of your car, this research was conducted by an English team and they claim to be able to guess your personality from the colour of car that you drive.

This research found that owners of black cars are more likely to be involved in a crash than owners of cream colour cars. Different research has been carried out in different countries and has all come to different conclusions, so whether this is true in America is not sure. But it is certain that red and yellow cars are at the top of the accident risk list.
