Any time a person or group of people try to justify some moronic belief, pull up the snopes page for it. I tend not to get FW:FW:FW:FW: e-mails from people, because I immediately REPLY ALL with the Snopes link and tell people not to be idiots. ---

That is a super old rumor/myth. Insurance companies do not asses risk based on the color of your car. Bright colors may attract bees and cops, but does not increase your insurance rates. ---

bright colors are also more visible so they should lower accident making it a wash… ---

So many factors are played into a insurance quote. Drivers race or car color are not anywhere on the insurance policy. Its a BS question and just a myth that red cars are pulled over more. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > in english please… I can’t tell if you’re contradicting your first post or what is going on??? sorry, I edited the first post. Geico said there is no connection. I love being right. I was half tempted to call after class or go out into the hall way incase I was wrong, but I knew that made no sense. I like disrupting class, especially when I am right. Win ---

Honestly, being a 2 door versus a 4 door car affects insurance rate. Color does not. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/car-color-vs-insurance-rate/62918.md?page=1)
