Blue Dials and Volkswagen helped drivers stay safe.
Apparently, if you want to stay awake behind the wheel at night you don’t need to drink coffee or RedBull. All you need is an appropriate car. Some of you now will automatically think of a fancy and funky motor with loads of gadgets to keep you entertained. However all you need is a middle-aged Volkswagen. It seems that the VW guys had it right in 1997 when the mk4 Golf was launched.
Loads of people know why this brilliantly built and inch-perfect car was such a benchmark. However, one of the selling points of this Golf were the modern looking and rather unique blue dials with red needles. At night, they looked fantastic! The blue dials were soon introduced across the VW range and other than being captivating, they are also safer at night. New research shows that shining blue light in your eyes at night is just as effective as coffee in keeping you awake. My question is, if blue has this effect, which colour is the most drowsy? And also, why has VW copied Audi and chose to go for white dials and red needles? MG
