It's probably not a good idea to drive pink cars either. Not only are they high scorers, but the chances of looking sleek, stylish, moody or expensive are slim. If you don't have a red car, you should still be wary. Mr Emslie was driving a yellow Alfa, but in the rules of the game, yellow, green and brown should be fairly safe bets, as they are low scoring. Getting a bad position after a red might give a playing officer no choice, though.
White cars are safest of all.
Police cars, being white, act as the cue ball in the game. So if a white car is booked, it is tantamount to a foul and will count as four points away.

Twice as likely to kill at 35mph than at 30, the government warns Simplest of all, and surely the advice straight-faced coppers would give, is don't speed and you won't be caught. The Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions has been running a hard-hitting campaign to tell drivers that cutting their speed to 30mph from 35mph halves the risk of killing pedestrians.
