>> currently researching the correlation between automobile accidents and color of the vehicle ( simply put, silver is300's and rear end collisions )
I will update with my findings in the near future.
[edit]
"Silver cars were about 50% less likely to be involved in a crash resulting in serious injury than white cars; while black, brown, blue, red cars are twice as likely to be involved in a crash. The design and methods are a reasonable approach to study the association between modifiable risk factors and injury from car crashes. The association between silver car colour and reduced risk of serious injury persisted after we had adjusted for major confounding factors, but the possibility of residual confounding remains. The extent to which these results are generalisable to other settings is open to question. Increasing the proportion of silver cars could be an effective passive strategy to reduce the burden of injury from car crashes. "
>> Bullshit, I would have to disagree. I think silver cars blend in to the surroundings and have less of a silohuette, therefore harder to see, especially on clear sunny days (on which I was rear ended, twice). On second thought, maybe I'm just unlucky; although, I was never in an accident in my old car, which was black and that was during two years. Now, two times being hit in roughly a month's time, color might have just a little, and I stress little, effect on accidents.
