smile_big.gif Actually that photo is not my car. I took that photo from the net to show about the 'interesting' emotion light (looks like third brake light).

But I agree with you that black cars tend to be accident prone. Many years ago, I read an interesting report (from a newspaper, I think) that black cars have the highest accident rate compared to other colours. Especially at night, people tend not to notice black cars or notice them later compared to other colours.

It is for this reason that I don't have a black car.


That's what I read somewhere too, apparently black and silver (acts like a mirror) are the highest due to the colours difficult to perceive (our human eye is more sensitive to motion than colour).

White or yellow are safer.

True or not?

Maybe we should all paint our cars with yellow, white stripes and pink or red polka dots all over.

The article about black cars having the most car accidents came from a newspaper (The Star, I think). The article also quoted figures that state black cars are most accident prone, but I cannot recall the figures.

You might be right about silver colour too. Silver is like grey, and football fans might remember that many years ago Man Utd's away jersey was grey which they have to change during half time of a match. The Man Utd players complain they couldn't see one another on the field because of the colour of their jersey! Fancy that.


Invisible even to their own players

Some countries actually charge a higher premium for insurance for dark coloured cars.

I was in China and I saw a hell of alot of black cars and most of the black cars were mostly expensive or European makes. So i asked a local why all European cars there are mostly black. He replied "Black car is a status symbol" I said Oh like that ah!!! So anybody who buys a black car in China is trying to show that they are of a different level than everybody else.
