I was driving around today, and I noticed something.  It seems like white cars are safer.  Everyone slows down when they see a white car.  They think it could be a cop.  It's my theory that white cars are the safest.  You have people trying to drive good around you, because sometimes they think you're the fuzz.

Its a good theory, but it changes in the area.

The local PD here drive all white cars, so people slow down, but the next town over there cars are solid navy blue and yellow.....


Hey, nice marmot!

That's because it's a truck.  I'm talking about CARS.

Yellow and white are the safest cars to drive, since they are the most visible (less likely for someone to hit you because they "didnt see you there")

Red cars get pulled over the most, since they look like they are driving faster than they are.

true every since i got my used Impala cop car(still has the spot light,lights in the grill) everywere i go ple always start to drive all perfect. like when i come up behind cars they always slow down to speed limit and im like come on gas is on the right. im not a cop. Then theres those that slow down to get a look at ur plates and then the realize im not a cop. the only time i dont have ple slowin down while i drive is when i got my bozooka's on goin thump thump thump.

I have a friend who bough a cop car at auction, They had to cut the lightbar and the screen out first however. It has a PA and a Spotlight though. Good for trying to stand out. Had a shot suspension wo ell be cruising around hit a bump and it just like slumps

It'd be awesome to dress up like a cop, get the lights on there, and pull people over.  Have you guys seen Super Troopers?  HALARIOUS!

Serial killers like to drive old cop cars.  It may be a good idea to be careful around Crown Vics.

I have a friend, in highschool, he used to do that, he used to pull people over and mess with them. One night, he did it, and a cop pulled over to give asistance in the traffic stop. The cop said "Hey who is that?! Need a hand?" My friend said his heart stopped when he saw the cop. He got a ticket and almost went to jail, he worked out a deal the cop that if he showed him all the light stuff being out of the car, he would drop the charges. The charges were dropped.

Red cars are more likely to get pulled over.

My brother refers to the people that speed ahead when there's obviously a speed trap his "bird dogs".
