I found some interesting information regarding this (below), but will tell you from personal experience as an auto claims adjuster (21 years) I do NOT see more red cars and trucks than others, in fact (because there are more silver, white etc), see less red than other colors....There has always been a debate not about accidents, but about being pulled over by the police in a red car, as opposed to another color vehicle. Here is what I found on that (take it for what it's worth) : there is an urban myth that the traffic police play Automobile Snooker(AS). In the original game of snooker, a player tries to pot balls on a billiard table. After potting a red ball (which is worth one point) the player then tries to pot a coloured ball. You get two points for a yellow, three for green, four for brown, five for blue, six for pink and seven for black. If you pot the cue ball (which is white) you have four points taken away. Transferred to the open road this means that if your local police are playing AS, you are 15 times more likely to get a speeding ticket (there are 15 reds on a snooker table) if you have a red car than any other coloured car but white. If you have a white car, you're pretty unlikely to get pulled over.

Are black cars involved in more car accidents?
Apparently they are... All dark coloured cars have an increased chance of being involved in an accident, while brighter colours like white are more visible and therefore involved in less accidents.
Why should or shouldn't cars be banned from the city centre?
Cars have been the worlds most efficient way of transport since they have been invented. I assume that this question is considering banning the cars because of the accidents they have been involved in. However, accidents that are car related have been caused by more than 90% by humans, through either fatigue, bad driving skills, drink driving, speeding, or distractions in general. Only 10% of accidents that cars have been involved in are caused by mechanical failures. Therefore, cars should not be banned but more or less people should be banned from driving them. Hope this helps and makes sense to you.

Which cases more deaths cars or airplanes?
That is easy, cars do cause more death, the only thing to point out is that the survivability index of car accidents (amount of people involved in car accidents who survive) is better than planes, basically your odds of surviving a plane crash are very bad, but if you take into account the millions of people who fly, the amount of accidents and deaths is minimal. Regards.
