Black Cars

I stay in an independent house in Bangalore which is located in a street of about 15 feet. Total residents in the house are 6 ( including a couple who stays on ground). Total number of vehicles is also 6. Two motorbikes and four cars. All cars are of black in color. One of my close friend also insisted on buying a black color car even when he had to pay few K more the deal. I cannot deduce that more people are buying black cars just because few of my friends have a black one and I own one too. Someone told me that in TOI it was mentioned that Black color owners are more prone to accidents. That made me curious. I ran a google search and found some interesting stuff regarding the black cars.

• For years it was commonly believed that black cars ran faster-because they won in the '40s and '50s. Then white cars began to win.
• Owners of black cars are most keen to get undressed in their cars (thirty-five percent). Only Twenty-one percent of yellow car drivers have undressed in their cars.
• Black cars are 10 times as likely to be in accidents as are white ones because they are less visible.
• Black cars crash more often than others because aggressive drivers love that colour. A study shows that out of 130,000 accident claims, by far the largest number involved black cars, while the smallest involved cream coloured cars.
• Black cars are driven by sophisticated and self-assured people. However, watch out for male teens driving black SUVs, as they can be macho maniacs. Always keep this car in front of you.
