Been down the road with 3 cars in the past. All have been hit, by people that said they could not see it. At least there is science to support it.

So then why do police (at least in the US) use red lights on their cars? The simple answer is that red also draws the eye to the source, and the blue lights alert you that its there.
So why is it harder to see red cars like our own? From what I understand, they are easier to see when you are looking at them, however it is much easier to miss them when its in your peripheral vision (less color sensitivity). I'm no expert, just relaying personal experience, so I could be wrong. But if Red cars were harder to see across the board, why do you have urban legends that say that red cars are pulled over by cops more often?
