Black cars

[awa355]

Reading a car magazine which stated that in Sweden, black cars make up 4.4% of their car fleet but are involved in 22% of car accidents. I wonder why!

Perhaps cars should have a big fat Hi Vis reflectorised strip around them? Might suggest it to ACC.

Black cars stand out like dog's balls. It'll have more to do with the ego and attitude of the type of people who buy black cars than visibility.

NZ has a LOT of sliver, grey and white cars on the fleet and I find these impossible to see on overcast rainy days if they don't have their lights on.

Ban all black cars!!

^^ this. Living in foggy Hamiltron, it's insane the number of people who drive around, when visibility is low, without their lights on. We need signs that say "hey idiot, just cos you can see others doesn't mean they can see you easily. Turn your frickin lights on when viz is low." Obviously, spelling and wording need to be adjusted for the actual sign :innocent:

Ban all black cars!!

Watch out there mate! they'ill look at banning black jackets first. Less voters to upset that way.

[BMWST?]

Ban all black cars!!

good idea they are bastards to keep clean!

[schrodingers cat]

Ban all black cars!!

And silver, grey and white.
Hold on, Red cars make aggressive drivers. Get rid of them. And people over 60. And people under 25 cause they are dangerous and can use a computer. And cellphones and eating a pie and pedophiles and

Just ban everything.

And people over 60.

Wot you say? Huh?

Whippersnapper!

[schrodingers cat]

Whippersnapper!
To be totally fair, in the end I decided it was best to ban everything.
In any case, come the revolution (or whatever I get organised) people like yourself will be favourably treated b the administration.

Actually I clean forgot that we shoud ban women. I'm off my game today

[Rockbuddy]

maybe all black car rego's should be doubled

[Scuba_Steve]

It probably comes down to something as simple as alot of Merc's, SUV's & the likes come in black as standard & the people that tend to drive these vehicles can't.

Fixed that for ya!

Statistically, black drivers are worse as well.

Possibly.

and eating a pie
Let's not be hasty now.

Dont the head doctors believe that certain colours cause certain behaviours? Years ago, they changed the interior colour of ambulances from pale blue to a fawny/pink because it was supposed to be 'more settleing' to patients. Blue produced more aggressive behaviour according to the experts.

So I wonder what what affect, black has? Does wearing black leathers make riders anti authority? Wanna break the rules? ,Invincible? & Dislike those who are here to protect us from ourselves? ( according to them ).

Who sells pink leathers?

The average biker will look like a tumorous under-cooked pork sausage in pink leathers.

A bit like a polonie with a burst skin.

If you were looking at a row of black bikes, with one, a candy pink, it would stand out like the perverbial. Same if the row were all candy pink colours and there was one black bike parked in the middle. It would stand out.

Sort of shows, there is no one safety colour, just what ever is different.

If I did wear a pink leather outfit. I'd be pretty damn safe, I would be the only bastard dumb enough to wear pink and who of you could ever live down owning up to not seeing some pink dick on a bike before collecting him.

I'll leave you with that, though I understand the logic and the desired effect.l

True - you did indeed...

Some days I'd like to ban everything but other days I can be quite tolerant...except for...etcetcetcetc :angry:

Only on the road. In bars and sports grounds you could get beaten up, and if you hang out behind public toilets you would be at risk of surprise buttsecks...

When I owned a black car I'd always have at least the fog lights on no matter what. Cool little blue lights at the front. The number of other cars who flashed me to tell me my lights were on was amazing, as if I didn't know :facepalm:

[Brett]

Ban all black cars!!

Ban all black bikes too?

[oneofsix]

Ban all black bikes too?

ouch :bash: Anyhow most of the time you can't see the colour of the bike until its too late, and you probably shouldn't be fixing on the target that much. Just avoid the black hole :woohoo:

My Gixxer is black.

[Blackshear]
