You may find your insurance premium varies according to things like this, they have the detail from your reg number. May only be a pound here or there but it may be accounted for in terms of accident stats as well as general repair costs i.e flat colours versus metallics. You wouldn't take the blame for a driver pulling out but nor could you say that driver was stupid for not seeing you if it were statistically shown that a car of that colour didn't cause a response in our vision system like an alternate colour would. People only react to what their senses and brain provide them to work on.
You're wrong, I would say exactly that. Any driver who can't see my car clearly enough not to pull out in front of it is not driving safely, is definitely stupid, and it's 100% their fault they hit me.
