Have a care, dear Faldage Hi Betsy - there was a study done quite some years ago that found drivers of red cars were stopped more often by police than drivers of cars in other colors.
When a further study was done on judging the speed of cars by observation alone, with many colors of cars passing a fixed point, all going 35 mph, it turned out people consistantly thought the red cars were going faster than they actually were!
When I had my red sports car I was stopped a few times - but never got a ticket. Prolly had something to do with being young and blonde and not bad looking - ya think maybe?
