Do red cars get pulled over more often?<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n

There are few harder decisions to make when buying a vehicle<\/a> than picking out its exterior color. This is especially true when there is more than one buyer in the mix. <\/span>During this occasionally laborious process, one of the questions that often gets asked is, \u2018Do red cars get pulled over more often?\u2019 We <\/span>have to<\/span> admit, this is one of those automotive things that<\/span> a lot of us at Carizma Motors believed was true. However, we have recently learned this is <\/span>actually not<\/span> the case. A recent insurance industry study has quickly and clearly dispelled this as a m<\/span>yth and our team is very excited <\/span>to share what they learned. Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Does color play a factor in getting pulled over? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The origin of the myth about red cars getting pulled over more often than other vehicle colors is unclear. It probably started because it\u2019s a popular choice for sports cars \u2013 which is something we\u2019ll get to in a minute. According to the study our team found, when the information about the most ticketed vehicles is filtered for color, white vehicles actually get the most tickets. However, white has also been the most popular vehicle color for a long time. This could be just a numbers game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is make or model a factor? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is something that the most ticketed vehicles have in common, they are all high-performance platforms with high-performing engines<\/a>. The temptation to press the gas pedal a little harder and really feel what several hundred-horsepower feels like on the road can be just too much for some drivers. This is exactly why sports cars aren\u2019t recommended for young drivers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
