White vs. Dark-Color Cars

[lhandzs]

white kitang kita agad kesa sa dark at ang ilan pang pagkakaiba kitang kita agad gasgas ng dark lalo na yung black then pagnabilad ng araw mas mahihipo mo yung white kesa sa black.

its on the size of the vehicle yan sir


before, when i drive my suzuki jimny (03model) red. aba e lahat sinisingitan ako. pero dahil maliit ako. di sila makasingit kasi agile ako. hehehe


but when i drive our expedition. no such thing happens. even cops let me pass by when i accidentaly turned left on a no left turn road. they instead captured those that followed me.

specially on hiways going to the province. having a smaller car has some disadvantages when buses overtakes. small cars, almost always, gives way to bigger cars due to safety reasons. kinakaya kaya sila ng mga trucks and buses. hehehe.

but they wouldnt do it on an escalade, h3, land cruiser, pajero and other big passenger vehicles.

size matters. sabi ni godzilla

[mmanson]

agree! dark colored car fan here heheheeee

sa laki nga yan. lalo na pag tumatawid.pag sedan lang yung dadaan mag dadalawang isip pa yung tatawid (aatras abante pa) e pag truck na yan kahit anong itim pa niyan hinding hindi ako tatawid heheheee

[evs_13]

parang same lang din para sa akin. siguro size does matter, nagkataon na sedan yung dark colored vehicle mo pos auv yung white vehicle mo...

We have a white corolla before and now I drive a dark colored lancer, I can't seem to notice any difference at all.

Naging consideration yan nung pumipili pa lang kami ng sasakyan. Maka-black kasi ako, eh takot ni misis na baka hindi makita sa gabi yung oto, madaling maaksidente. Ayaw naman namin ng white, even as the sales rep explained that white does give a vehicle the illusion of size. We settled for what looks like olive instead.

Pero favorite ko ngayon yung metallic blue finish, found on many Isuzu Crosswind XT and Toyota Corolla Altis units.

Yes, Natawa ko dito pero tama. Size matters pwera na lang kung duling, lasing or ewan.

O.T. even in horn, extreme noise makes them think twice compared to simple / stock horn.

Hmm...

I used to drive a white car (Corolla) and now drive a blue pick up (HiLux).

I think size is the key.

When I was driving around in the Corolla, it was a 50-50 thing when it came to how drivers treat you.

If you drive too defensively, they bully you. If you drive aggressively, they tend to give you a little more distance plus, you can easily outrun the buggers once you get on a clear stretch of road.

With my HiLux, people are more cautious around me and give me respectable distance when applicable.

My rig is set up with an ARB winch bumper with side rails and steps. I also added aggressive tires which peek out the side and lifted it by 2 inches.

My current config also helps with others being cautious around me since in an accident, they will suffer the damage and I can drive away with at the very least, a few scratches.

Another plus is that it helps ward off the bullies, even the pesky buses evade when I don't give way since they will be damaged and all I need is touch up paint after the fact.

I've also heard stories of all vehicles avoiding or distancing themselves from a Hummer H1 along EDSA.

I'll confirm the last one once I get one

By the way, with regards mbeige's reply, I remember reading an article (possibly the same one?) that silver cars are more visible.

Some people find this to be a shocker since they figure that white is a visible as it gets.

This is true here and in other tropical countries, but in countries that experieince snow fall, a white vehicle will totally blend in with the surroundings.

Silver is the more visible color choice for almost all conditions since they are easily seen in day time and reflect some light at night making them more visible to other motorists.

Darker colors are harder to see in low light conditions so it's a no brainer that they didn't make the most visible list.

I've read somewhere that silver cars are actually the safest. I think white was third. Brown being the last.

I agree with this... may nabasa ako sa isang car magazine na silver cars are safest on the road... lalo na kapag GABI. Hehe
