Many road accidents happen at night. A major reason for this is that certain colors are not easily noticed in poor light conditions. Thus, cars painted in those colors are not easily seen by other drivers.
One solution would be needed to overcome poor visibility due to car color and thus reduce traffic accidents related to it.
Yellow and white are the two paint surfaces that reflect most light. For this reason, yellow is used as a background for road signs and other important signals. Moreover, yellow an white are not generally problems for the color blind.
The problem with this solution is that people have a strong preference with regard to color. They like their cars look different. Although there maybe emotional resistance to this idea of painting all cars yellow and white, this life-saving benefit is worth trying.
