Bright cars for savvy young drivers

Having insurance for young drivers is a legal requirement. It may be expensive but without it a driver is committing a motoring offence for which he can be prosecuted.

However, there are many circumstances in which having comprehensive car insurance is extremely advantageous. For instance, if your car gets stolen and is unrecovered your insurer will reimburse you for the value of the stolen vehicle.

Ways to prevent vehicle theft
There are many ways to deter car thieves – factory fitted engine immobilisers, car alarms, steering locks and wheel clamps, to name but a few. However, research carried out in the Netherlands and published in 2010 has revealed that the colour of your car may also have some bearing on its attractiveness to potential vehicle takers.

Most car thieves steal motor vehicles to make money. Joyriding and temporary theft have been curtailed somewhat in recent years with the introduction of security devices which make it impossible to simply get into a car and drive away after "hotwiring" it. So, luxury marques, new cars and popular models are usually top on the shopping list for thieves who are going to try to sell the vehicle on.

Although new cars from the production line in popular colours will sell at the same price as the less popular colours, when it comes to resale value an orange car is likely to fetch less than the same model in black or silver.

Combine this with the fact that police will be harder pressed to spot a black or silver stolen car than they would a pink or yellow one and this may be another reason why savvy thieves opt for the more nondescript hues.

Cheaper car insurance for young drivers
Although buying a car in a startling shade of lime green is unlikely to make your insurance for young drivers cheaper, it may be something to bear in mind if you are worried about vehicle theft. And you might find that a bright pink second-hand car will be a few hundred pounds cheaper in the first place than the same model in black.
