I think historically at least, red paint is the quickest to fade and deteriorate in the sun.

- papito 6y agoRed cars would also be stopped by cops more often, because they stand out.
- vladvasiliu 6y agoIs that red in particular or any color that stands out? Say bright yellow or orange.
- yftsui 6y agoRed cars also pays higher premium for insurance
- vladvasiliu 6y agoMy insurance company never asked for my car's color. I don't think that's a common practice over here.
- Godel_unicode 6y agoThis is a particularly pervasive urban myth.
- greedo 6y agoIs that because they stand out, or because people more inclined to break driving laws like red cars?
- papito 6y agoImagine you are a cop enforcing speed limits. Multiple cars pass by, all speeding, one of them is red. Which car will grab your eye's attention first?
- greedo 6y agoStatistically, the one with the black driver. All the cops I've spoken with about this (maybe a dozen) say they don't consciously or subconsciously notice a car's color, but they do notice it's behavior. A speeder will change lanes frequently and abruptly to get around traffic, panic break, and do other stuff that cops easily notice.
- papito 6y agoI am sorry, I am not buying the equal justice for all argument. Of course the cops will not admit they are biased based on color. Err - CAR color. It's a studied fact that red attracts attention, we find people wearing red more attractive, etc. It's RED.
