The official statistics of the traffic police showed a dangerous tendency: 8.2% at the beginning of the year increased the number of fatal accidents. And the reason for this in violations of both sides - and drivers, and pedestrians. To avoid this, you need not only to monitor your behavior, but also to pay attention to the details. For example, how are you dressed - is your clothes visible in the dark? Tell about three colors that do not wear when the window becomes dark.
Red
According to foreign statistics, the red cars are included in the top 3 by the number of accidents. The reason is that in the dark, they are easy to confuse with a stop signal, signs on the road or red light light - the driver can distract anything. For the same reason, we do not advise you to stop on the road for quick car repair, if you are in red clothes. Especially if it coincides with the color of the car - other drivers can not notice you on her background.

White
White-colored cars are most popular in the world - for this reason you are easy to merge with the color of the vehicle and increase the probability of challenge from the car that has parked for you. It is also dangerous during the fog - a person in white clothes is simply not visible. Be sure to keep a bright color vest in the glove compartment - yellow or orange. Wear it before getting out of the car, even if you need literally to be on the street. Believe me, life is more important than saving a couple of seconds.

The black
This color is impossible to see in the dark due to the features of the perception of shades with our eye. You are rolling with a common background, if there is no permanent light source next to you. Plus, a quickly shallow figure even when lighting is not easy to track, if you need to cross the road. Deciding to do this, do not rely on the driver's consciousness - always install the visual contact with him, making sure that he sees you before moving along a pedestrian crossing. And if you are outside the city, then you definitely wear a reflective vest and do not cross if the machine moves at speed - better wait.
