Police targeting red cars

by Admin October 19, 2009 07:55 AM

Choosing to buy a car is not always the easiest job. What size you want, which car will be best for gas consumption, and which color to choose, are all decisions that have to be made. What if you choose a car that will cause police officers to pull you over more? No one wants to drive around feeling like a have a target on their back. Police targeting cars based on color is a myth and urban legend, see Eisla Sebastian's interesting article here

I read that article and there's a couple of issues I have with it. Gray and silver cars are pulled over more than the other ones for a simple reason, there are more of these cars. Just walk into any lot and count the number of red cars vs the number of gray/silver. This alone will show why more of those cars are pulled over.
The comparison should be made on the percentages within each color. So you would have to find the total number of gray/silver cars and see how many of those get pulled over, then find the total number for red cars and see how many of those get pulled over. Those percentages will show an accurate representation. While I normally have lots of respect for Snopes, the article is full of anecdotal information and only a small survey is cited.

Lol , I didn’t even realise there were enough people that took this idea seriously for it to even be considered an urban myth! Police really don't have time to be inspecting every red car on the road ... or even pulling a car over based on its colour. I’d say that playing it safe means not driving your red car over the speed limit, and that’s about all Smile

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

mississauga condo

Hi. this is kind of an "unconventional" question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time.

Forex Trading

Foreign exchange, Forex or just  FX are all terms used to describe the trading of the world's many currencies. The Forex market is the largest market in the world, with trades amounting to more than USD 3 trillion every day. Most Forex trading is  speculative, with only a low percentage of market activity representing governments' and companies' fundamental currency conversion needs. http://forextradingworld.org
