Study:
Silver Cars are Safer
Silver colored cars
are less likely to be involved in a crash causing serious injuries,
according to a new study by a group of New Zealand scientists.
The
study, published in the British Medical Journal, discussed the
impact of car color on the risk of a serious injury in a study
of more than 1,000 drivers in New Zealand between 1998 and 1999.
Previous
research suggested that white or light colored cars are less likely
to be involved in a crash, than cars of other colors. However,
in this recent study, silver cars were about 50% less likely to
be involved in a crash resulting in serious injury than white
cars.
