White cars could protect cheap car insurance
Research from Australia has suggested that ladies wanting to keep their cheap car insurance premiums safe and sound should choose a white vehicle.
In the study, the Monash University Accident Research Centre looked at correlations between the colour of cars and accident risk in daylight hours.
It found that black cars had a 12% higher chance of having an accident than white ones, whilst many other colours such as blue, green, red and silver also had a greater crash rate.
A spokesperson for the RAC Foundation suggested that in the light of these findings, motorists who want to keep their cheap car insurance rates intact should perhaps start taking account of the colour of a car, as well as safety features and Euro NCAP results, when choosing a vehicle.
Gemma Turner, of ladies' motor insurance company CoverGirl Car Insurance Services, added: "Whilst it has been suggested that these results were down to the level of visibility that comes with a white car, it might just be that people who select white cars tend by nature to be less likely to take risks."
