That was last year statistically, namely the largest brokkenpiloten on our roads.

The RDW keeps track of all accidents not only in where and when they happened, but also what make and colour cars were involved. Nu.nl early figures on it and came to the conclusion that, relatively speaking, Honda-riders most often are involved in an accident. Last year was 7.1 times per 1000 Honda’s. Taxi-drivers, Mercedes drivers followed on the second place, with scarcely less accidents. The top 5 is complemented by Volkswagen (5.9 per 1000), Peugeot (5.0) and BMW (5.0).

It is striking that we at the bottom of the list, a sports car brand, Alfa-Romeo, with only 3.3 accidents per 1000 cars. Especially because this brand in the beginning of this year, almost to the top of a list with the most reported damage was. Alfa-riders might also be the largest doorrijders? Continue to the drivers of Subaru’s (3.4), Lancia (3.4), Nissans (3.4) and Skoda (3.5) above average often out of the penarie.

Of all the colors of cars that most often an accident, the orange cars proudly at the top with 6.14 accidents per 1000 cars. White (4.7) and black (4.0) follow from an appropriate distance. Relatively seen happen the most accidents in the morning and evening rush hour, where the centre of gravity at the end of the day. On Monday or by the end of Tuesday, somewhere between 02:00 and 04:00 you run the least chance of chunks, so if you are in possession of an orange Honda, then we would have that time of the day choose to be the way to go.
