Black cars are almost 50 per cent more likely than lighter coloured vehicles to be involved in a road accident, according to new research.

In a 20-year study, researchers from Monash University in Australia found that black cars are up to 47 per cent more likely to be involved in a crash.

While black vehicles were deemed to be the most dangerous to drive, white, gold and yellow cars were found to be the safest.

Researcher Dr Stuart Newstead told the Daily Mail: ‘Whilst campaigns to modify vehicle colour choice could alter the crash risk, colour is a much less influential [factor] than behavioural traits such as drink-driving and speeding.”

He added that simple methods of improving visibility, such as the use of headlights in the daytime as well as at night, could potentially negate the “elevated risks” of driving a dark-coloured car.

A research team from Coventry University tested everyday motions of drivers and passengers, discovering that FlexDoors reduce the need to twist the back by up to 48 per cent compared with standard car doors.

Dr James Shippen, who headed the study, said: “With this research we wanted to prove that the new Meriva could actually help the physical wellbeing of drivers everywhere.
