These car dealership workers have recently revealed which color of car gets pulled over the most, and it’s exactly what you think it is.
Maybe it’s a rumor or an old wives’ tale, but there seems to be a suggestion that if you buy a car in a specific color, you’re far more likely to get pulled over.
It seems that psychology plays a part in how we perceive drivers based on how calm or erratic the color of their vehicles is.
So, next time you’re buying a new car, it might be worth considering what color you’re buying and which perception you’re unintentionally promoting with your ride.

So, which color of car gets pulled over the most?
Do you ever think about the color of a car when you’re looking at buying a new one? And do you ever consider the fact that the color you pick could give a specific impression of your driving?
Because, believe it or not, people have decided that there’s a color of car gets pulled over the most.
According to the Kia car dealership in Clarkesville, it seems that many people have the perception that you’re way more likely to be pulled over in a red car than in any other color.
Pop culture’s red cars have always been associated with speed and rebelliousness, like the iconic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Ferrari 250 GT and even the fictional red race car Lightning McQueen.
Despite the common assumption that we might make that red cars are just sportier and driven by rebels, there’s actually very little evidence in real life that red cars get pulled over more.

Seeing red
It’s not just the sportier and rebellious association with red cars. It might also be the fact that red cars are more visible and noticeable than their less sporty counterparts.
Insurance companies don’t factor in which color of car you’ve chosen when they’re quoting you, right? So we wouldn’t worry too much if you can get a cheap deal on a red ride.
Sports cars with loud modified exhausts and tinted windows are more likely to stand out and get pulled over, but we think it’s probably more to do with the nature of the way people drive sports cars.
If you’re seeing red, we wouldn’t worry too much.
