Bird poo wars
Bird poo.
It’s the bane of many a motorist’s driving days and can cause damage to paintwork as well as looking unpleasant.Recent research conducted by Halfords, however, might help road users fight against it. According to the company, red cars are targeted more than any other colour vehicle, and green cars are targeted the least.
Although there’s no real scientific basis for the results, the firm ran the study in several different cities and numbers never lie.
After red cars it was the blue vehicles which were pelted with poop the most. Next came black vehicles, then white, and finally silver was in the running just before green.
With this knowledge, perhaps drivers who hate to do war with bird, ehem, leavings, will purchase green cars, or buy a green cover for their vehicle to keep it safe.
Alternatively, they could try to avoid parking under trees or lamp-posts, but that can be difficult sometimes.
Good luck to all!
