Opel Manta
Silver Cars are Safer
Go get a silver Manta GTE or just paint yours silver! Why?
Well, a couple of years ago a report came out in New Zealand looking at the correlation between car colour and the risk of having an accident.
The report found that Silver cars were less likely to be involved in an accident, followed closely by white cars. Now I'm no scientist or researcher but that's fairly obvious - high visibility!
The car colours with a greater level of risk were black, green and brown!
Well, I like my black Manta GTE the way it is, so no change for me :)
Anyway, if you want to see the full report plus comments you can read it over at the British Medical Journal, though you'd do well to get your science head on, it's a bit heavy going!
