Silver cars safer
Wed, 10 Dec 03
Drivers of silver cars are more likely to have to make a claim on their car insurance, research has shown.
Research featured in the British Medical Journal found that silver cars were involved in fewer accidents causing serious injury.
Factors that could affect the results, such as age and sex of driver, seat belt use, vehicle age, and road conditions, were taken into account.
They found a significant reduction (about 50 per cent) in the risk of serious injury in silver cars compared with white cars.
There was a significantly increased risk of a serious injury in brown vehicles and the risks for black and green cars were also raised. The risk of a serious injury in yellow, grey, red, and blue cars was not significantly different from that in white cars.
