 CAR, COLOUR, CRASHES

What colour car do you drive?
When choosing a car most people pick a certain colour, simply because they like it! But who would think that the colour you choose can seriously increase the chances of having an accident? New car psychology from Churchill Motor Insurance shows a direct correlation between car colour and accident frequency, and black cars are twice as likely to be involved as cream cars.

The colour crash index according to those most likely to have an accident
1. Black
2. Silver
3. Green
4. Yellow
5. Blue
6. Grey
7. Red
8. Pink
9. White
10. Cream

On Your Behalf this week a psychologist explains the significance of colour choices and the behavioural patterns of the drivers who choose certain colours.
