Safety is an under appreciated function of car color. I've had a number of same looking cars of different color. I noticed that driving a white version results in substantially less near miss/near accidents while driving.

I will only buy white cars now because of this. I'm tired of dodging inattentive drivers that are sleepdriving through their commute or whatever they are doing besides driving.

I read once that grey cars have the highest possibility of accidents for this exact reason.

And since then have only driven white cars.

Thats funny because I didn't know that was a stat however I definitely noticed that my grey car was like an accident magnet from real life experience.

Yellow cars actually have the lowest rate of accidents, although it's not that common to find in a standard range of most cars.

Is that excluding or including cabs, which are yellow in many countries with few other cars being yellow?
