It is the colour.

First thing I noticed when I drove silver cars..regardless of what model the car is...if it was silver the driver at a junction would look at me and go anyway.

I think the colour hides the perception of speed, so they think they can pull out into a gap in traffic that simply isn't there.


Unfortunatly this has fed a rather nasty habit I do when a driver cuts me up...seeing my car is rather swift, if nothing is comming the other way I overtake and go around them rather than slam on the brakes....scares the shyte of them .
