Who says green cars are pointless..

Motorists wanting to drive a less-polluting car would do well to buy one that is green in colour as well. Vehicles of a green hue are less likely to suffer bird droppings, a survey from Zurich Insurance showed. Overall, 89% of motorists have been on the receiving end of a "bird strike" in the last 12 months, with drivers spending a total of nearly £57 million a year cleaning up their vehicles.

Sounds like a load of **** to me..

Rubbish. My Burnham Green Aston Martin is always getting covered in bird droppings, usually 2 or 3 a day.

My Almandine Black Mercedes-Benz gets far less, maybe 1 a week.

Makes it sound like birds are targetting cars and think green ones are grass ? - Jeez if they are that clever get them running the country

57 million a year, I doubt it

That's less than a fiver per driver though isn't it?

About two quid a car?

We had a black Peugeot resprayed after it had been standing for two weeks with birds messing on it. That's about £2k worth of damage.

I suspect Zurich mean car cleaning and repairs to bird lime damage.
