This conclusion was made by scientists from New Zealand. According to them, drivers of silver-colored cars carry the least risk of serious injury in an accident.

– Studies show that silver cars make up 50 percent. "Safer" than white cars, says Sue Furness, who leads a research team at the University of Auckland. More than a thousand drivers from New Zealand took part in the tests, which were conducted in 1998-99.

After taking into account factors such as driver age and gender, seat belt use, vehicle age and road conditions, the experts concluded that vehicle color is an element that also needs to be taken into account during testing. It has been found that the risk of serious injury in a crash is higher for people who drive brown, black or green cars.
