Road safety is a subject close to our hearts. With the recent debate on whether to use yellow or grey paint for maximum visibility for cameras (obviously only a barking fcukwit would want to hide a stout steel pole concreted in to the ground at an accident black spot) I thought it may be of greater benefit to make other hazards more visible, such as the cars/vans/bikes which are often overlooked by the many numpties on our roads.

Are there any reasons (other than vanity and bloodymindedness) that all vehicles shouldn't be painted bright yellow? Benefits include: improved safety from greater visibility, more efficient car production, reduced repair costs and no more beige.

......would make spotting the yellow speeding cameras more difficult, plus the resultant glare would probably have us all wearing shades.

Why don't they replace cameras with flashing blue lights if they want us to slow down?

If all cars were yellow it would make waiting for the AA man a much less exciting experience.....
