red car = more tickets

[kcap122]

i guess if you think about it, it really wouldnt make any sense to charge a person more for insurance if their car was red. I mean, it's not increasing the risk factor for a client to the insurance company if the outside of the car (which you can't see while driving anyway) is red. It doesn't really increase your chance of getting into an accident in any way, or have a psychologocial effect as maybe some people think.

IF nothing else the insurance company would give you a discount... knowing you are more likely to be given a ticket.... therefore they can raise your rates..

Actually, some insurance companies do ask what color your car is!! They asked me!!

Yellow and Red cars get pulled over more cause they stick out when u do something wrong and because generally red and yellow cars look more sportier then others.

[kcap122]

the real purpose is that they want to know the color of your car in case you try to mate your engine compartment with a tree, then they would like to know the color of the car for identification purposes, i.e. so you dont cheat them and smash a crappy car in its place.

thats what a vin number is for

[pimprolla112]

insurance companies dont ask for the color of your car because the vin number gives them the infromation. y do you think a 5 slow mustang cost more for insurance than a v6. no matter what you do to your car they go by the vin, so any mods dont get to the insurance company. insurance companies do charge more for red cars but its not a huge difference, and yeah my friend in his red prelude has had over 9 tickets in 3 months i got one in like 8 months but i got alot of warnings, so its not all bs.

You an your friend need to chill. I speed but I watch myself.

[pimprolla112]

only one of them is for speeding the others are all different things, burnouts, seatblet shit, loud music shit like that but i do the same things and i didnt get a ticket but once

I have a Brown/White Bronco. I haven't gotten a ticket since I've owned it. I've had the car for 2 years now. Start buying Shit Brown colored cars? j/k

[blondiechick]

yea i have a silver car and haven't got pulled over yet :-)

[acrid850]

I've never gotten a ticket in my White Volvo 760 Turbo Wagon . Its not slow...I get it to 90 no problem, and wander up to 100+ every here and there.

I however have a strategy. I call it the "Ferrari Rule". Its real easy: Never go (exceedingly) fast in area you don't know and/or never go faster than the "sportier" car. Chances are when I follow the Ferrari 360 at 120mph, a cop will pull over the Ferrari sooner then he'll pull over my Volvo Wagon.

You'd be suprised. Some cops will hit the ferrari in jealousy or to see the car, but most dont mess with the Big Money cars, at least thats what I noticed
