I agree with both of you in a sense. I agree with your mom about not being able to see at night but you can't see any color at night. Its dark.

what's the major purpose of a car battery?
Depends on the light. Many colours don't show up very well especially when the light is dim. Tell your Mom you will always drive with the lights on or get one of those cars fitted with lights that come on when things get dimmer. You could probably convert any car to do that.why dont people pay attention and obey constrution signs when comming upon construction sites?

What should I do if I zone out a lot while driving?
When it comes right down to it, the driver needs to drive defensivly.
silver is a very safe color and red is the most dangerous, red cars are in more wrecks than any other color believe it or not. I don't understand your mothers reasoning, maybe she just doesn't want you to have a car right now.
What kind of service does your city offer drunk drivers this weekend?
I don't know what these people are thinking when they say a silver car blends in with the road........ there is no silver or grey in the roadway to blend with! I painted my old Charger silver-grey a long time ago. Never had a problem, but that may be because of how I drive. There was NO WAY to see that car in the fog, all that could be seen were the lights.More Questions & Answers ...
