"Perhaps the most believed urban legend about what will get you pulled over is driving. Some legends suggest that insurance agents will charge you more for insuring a red car because they get pulled over more, some suggest that the color red affects your driving behavior and leads to more traffic violations. Others say that the color makes a car look like it's going faster than it really is. Still others suggests that red cars are more eye-catching, so police target them more frequently.
While there have been relatively few studies conducted on this topic, the evidence that is available shows that red cars are not pulled over more often than cars of other colors. What is interesting to note here is that silver and grey cars do seem to be pulled over statistically more frequently than other car colors, according to Snopes.com."
