An Australian study found that during the day black cars are 12% more likely than white cars to be involved in an accident. At dusk the risk increases by a whopping 47%.

I am curious if that data changes at all if headlights are on. I’d think that with headlights raising visibility of the black cars the incidence of accidents would start to get closer to the same for both colors of cars, but that’s just my uneducated opinion.
I had the same thought. Australia doesn’t require daytime running lights, so it’s be interesting to see if there’s data from Canada (where we require drl) to compare against.
Honestly? When I said humans should stop being racist towards each other, I wasn’t implying that we instead START being racist towards cars…
