While the study found that black was the least likely color to get pulled over other colors fared better than the average as well. Red cars were 9.7% less likely to be pulled over while blue and silver cars were 9.3% and 7.5% less likely to be pulled over respectively.
The study did not however find a correlation between the color of a car and the likelihood of getting a ticket. So while you may be less likely to get pulled over if you’re driving a black car you’re just as likely to get a ticket if you’re speeding or running a red light.
