{Wheels.17.25}: Silver Cars Are Safer? {thurst} Thu, 18 Dec 2003 23:31:18 CST (25 lines)
Heigh-Ho! Silver Cars Are Safer By Ed Edelson HealthDay Reporter THURSDAY, Dec. 18 (HealthDayNews) -- The color of your car might affect your chance of being injured in a road accident, New Zealand researchers report. Silver cars are less likely to be involved in a crash than autos of other colors, says a report by epidemiologists at the University of Auckland. Their analysis of statistics from a two-year study of auto accidents in Auckland also finds "a significant increased risk of a serious injury" in brown vehicles and a slightly increased risk for black and green cars. The report comes in a traditionally semi-serious Christmas issue of the British Medical Journal that is devoted to studies determinedly off the beaten track. For example, another study is an analysis of how elderly and disabled pedestrians are depicted on road traffic signs in 119 countries. (more) http://tinyurl.com/2pt53
