red car = more tickets

i really think that having a red car and a lead foot are a bad combo. i always get pulled out of traffic for speeding when i go the same speed as everyone else. its bullshit and needs to end.

so paint your car silver or gold like an old person car

it's true...i saw somewhere that yellow and red cars get pulled over more often than other cars.

makes sense too...red and yellow always stick out (at least to me they do)

lucki17 · #4 06-26-2004, 09:28 PM

well the yellow should get pulled over just for being yellow...but yeah i have a white 95 240sx and havent gotten pulled over once and i always speed in that, yet when i drive my moms red 03' rolla i go like maybe 10 over and get a ticket (both of the speeding tickets were for 10 over so far)i just think it sucks, red is my favorite color but i cant have my car red or ill be seeing blue in the mirror.

Hey whats wrong with gold lol. Anyway colors are'nt the only thing that makes a car more likely to get tickets. If you have a wing, bodykit, hood you can expect to be pulled over more.

No, it isnt bullshit, your bullshit.

go the speed limit, and you wolnt get pulled over...

this gets my vote for the stupidest thread ever.

damn dude, you need to get laid, i was just making a general comment on how i get pulled over in a stock red rolla more than a modded white 240sx. chill out, if you think my post is lame then dont read it. its that simple.

one thing you gotta face is more people speed, oh well, it's just that it's natural that bright colors stick out more. nothing you can do really.

Actually, researchers at the Institute for Advanced Research recently found that red paint actually does make a car go faster. Something about photon frequencies and combustion quanta.

yea i think that red cars get pulled over more than any other colored car....and my friend said that if you have a red car, that your insuance would be little higher....this true?

they dont ask the color of your car when you get insurance. Its all a bunch of BS.

Well maybe where you live, in Indiana, the insurance companies dont care as much, but I kno here in NJ our family's black 325i cost less on insurance than what we traded it in for, a red 325ci. Mightve been the color, mightve been the convertible-age, who knows.

dayna240sx · #15 07-16-2004, 09:25 AM

I'm pretty sure it was the convertible and the age if they were different.

Here, I just found this from The Business Journal...

"For example, 11 percent of survey respondents said they had avoided purchasing a red or yellow car to save on insurance, when, in fact, color has no bearing," Thacker said. "
