I agree with secretmaster. They definately need a real job. Or at least soemthing better to do than to research that.

Looks like to me the article writer has a white or silver car he wants to sell.

People should participate in work that helps the society. This is pathetic.

Stupid stastistics. They have a "stat" for just about every angle of life.

I agree that there are better things to do than to conduct this kind of research, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have merit. If they had arrived at the conclusion that darkly coloured cars were safer I would've thought it strange, but I don't see why it doesn't make sense that white, lightly coloured, and silver cars are easier to spot in the dark and thus slightly safer? Same thing as advicing pedestrians to wear bright clothes if they intend to walk by the road in the dark. [ 12-20-2003, 04:47 PM: Message edited by: Rataxes ]

Don't confuse cause and effect. Just because there appear to be more crashes in brown cars does not mean that brown cars are more dangerous. Someone just went digging through some data to see if they could find some event similarity, and this is what they came up with.
Stay tuned next year for the followup paper: Oh, it's not really the car at all.
