    Is it coz I(t) is black?

    Black cars more likely to crash.

    Black cars 'more likely to be involved in crashes' - Telegraph

    Well.

    There's a strange thing then.

    Doesn't comment on whether or now they're BMWs mind.

      This is discrimination. Maybe black cars do more miles? What about pedestrians?

            Humbug!!

            I have owned 3 black cars in my adult life and must have driven well over 200k miles in them. Never had a single crash in any of them.
            Once wrote off a white one though!!!

              Is it the driver? Are black car owners more likely to be bad drivers?

                Fun with statistics: if the form asks the officer to report the colour of the crashed cars, and it's burnt out, I would guess "black" or "blackened" will be written. Which'll skew things I would image.

                  They could put "orange" if they get to the scene quick enough.

                    The team noted that colour was less important in causing accidents than factors such as drink-driving and speeding.
                    Damn, I was hoping I could buy a white car and then get pissed and drive as fast as I like.
