It's staggering to me the number of black cars being sold in hot countries like Australia. Not to mention just how hard they are to see against the background of a bitumen road.
In some countries, you get a penalty on insurance depending on the car color, with maximum penalty reserved for black cars.
~~Okay that's racist~~
Lol. Wouldn't want to see that applied to people although I can imagine the rhetoric.
How is it with silver and grey? Do you get a heavy penalty for them too? If it rains, snow and/or are foggy can it be very tricky to see silver and grey cars.
I'm not really sure. I think white and red are the cheapest.
Growing up I remember hearing that red cars were the most expensive for insurance, as owners of red cars had the highest incidence of speeding and dangerous driving.
Red is the cheapest? It's also a rather nice color, no?
White is fine too.
Heavy rain or snow all that matters is if the lights work!
