Here’s What to Know"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

If you\u2019ve been in the market for a new vehicle or recently started shopping for car insurance, you\u2019ve probably heard that red cars get pulled over the most. Some might say it\u2019s due to the color\u2019s popularity in sports cars and others claim it\u2019s because they catch law enforcement\u2019s eye quickly. Whatever the case, these urban legends are not accurate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll take a look at the facts and uncover if there\u2019s the truth behind the rumors of red cars getting pulled over more frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Color Gets Pulled Over the Most?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"white<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to the National Motorists Association<\/a>, white-colored vehicles get pulled over the most. That said, red vehicles come in second, followed closely by gray and silver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, white cars are stopped by law enforcement because it\u2019s the most common vehicle color. In fact, about 35% of all vehicles on the road are white<\/a>. And although red comes in second for the most-pulled-over car colors, only about 5% of all vehicles on the roadway are red. This means that law enforcement officers have a higher chance of pulling over white cars than red cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Type of Vehicle Gets Pulled Over the Most?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The make and model of vehicles are more significant reasons for being stopped, rather than the color of the vehicle you use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a 2021 Insurify article<\/a>, the Subaru WRX is the most ticketed car on the road, followed by the Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the KIA Stinger. Luxury and sports vehicles are more likely to attract a police officer\u2019s attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list of the most pulled cars goes as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
