tribal Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Fast Music Can Lead to Dangerous DrivingReutersMar 13 2002 5:46PMLONDON (Reuters) - Drivers who listen to fast-tempo music on the road are more likely to have accidents, a science magazine said on Wednesday. When Warren Brodsky of Ben-Gurion University in Israel used a simulator to test the effects of music on the driving habits of 28 people he found drivers were more prone to take risks as the tempo increased. "Drivers had more than twice as many accidents when they were listening to fast tempos as when they listened to slow or medium-paced numbers," New Scientist magazine said. Brodsky believes music is distracting the drivers and making them less alert. He thinks drivers should be aware of the impact music has on them and advised them to either choose slower tunes or to turn down the volume to reduce distraction. ----------------------Hmm no more GU013 Ibiza, more lite FM with Herbie Hancock! talk about road rage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it'd be stereotyping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teklord310 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Fast paced music makes you drive faster. At least it makes me drive faster when the beat starts kickin and i'm in a good mood. Too bad the cop won't buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
