Safest Color For Mazda3?

[FreeStyLinDrive]

Does anyone know why the color red at a traffic signal means to stop instead of green meaning to stop or even yellow?

For you people who do not know, a human eye can define and react to that shade on the color spectrum FASTER compared to other colors. So with that in mind, and I have research to back me up on this, motorist can see and react to "red" cars faster then other colored CARS.

Anyone ever heard that people with red cars get more tickets? Hmmmm police officers, like other motorists on the road, can see and react to a red car.

Well thats science, but the U.S. department of highway safety says: Light gray cars, are the safest cars on the ROAD, Quoted from the U.S. Department of Highway safetys website.

Unlike others on this website, I have factorial evidence. Some people need to research before running the mouth or typing NON SENSE! Even though my car is gray, above information is not bios. Its just the facts PEOPLE.

I don`t know what gubmint report you are reading, but I stand by the M-B report that says white is most discernable. There are lots of white emergency vehicles out there.
Nobody seems to see my gray Miata.

Mercedes-Benz measured paint colors according to their perceptibility values.
The rating of relative conspicuousness was done to aid buyers concerned with safety to opt for the paint finish likely to make their cars most strongly recognizable under various light conditions.
In order of most perceptible to least, they were:
white, beige, yellow, signal red, grey, moss green, med. blue, brown, deep blue, black, forest green, midnight blue.

Only if you're looking at the front of the car. DRLs won't help with side or rear visibility.

...but white is also the hardest to keep clean in the winter. For the first 10 minutes out in the snow your car will be invisible. After that white => brown from all the sand they put on the road.

white is easiest to look clean, then grey....and laslty my black mica(sad2)

I don't know...

White looks super HAWT when Cleaned and Waxed and still looks Ok with a bit of dirt. Black looks bad when even a bit dirty...
