... to be hit.

I just read a report, that a "Silver Car" is less likely to be hit in an accident. It is something to do with the high visibility.

Dark colours, Blacks, Mauves, Dark Greens etc. are the worst.

White, Yellow, Red and orange are in the middle group.

read it here (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/motoringstorydisplay.cfm?storyID=3540356&thesection=motoring&thesubsection=motoring)

I read that article in the Herald.

I always thought they were more likely to be hit but that seems to be grey cars rather than silver.

In any case I always drive around with my lower lights on even during the day to give myself maximum visability to other drivers. Sometimes they are not prepared for how quick you can shift in a VR4 so I like to give them some warning I am coming. :D
