Rock music fuels unsafe driving
From the Detroit News..........
Never mind cells phones and the dangers of texting or eating while driving. A team of scientists at a university in Israel found the tempo of your tunes in your vehicle can lead to speeding or other unsafe driving practices. If their research is correct, listening to Tracy Chapman's ballad "Fast Car" does not promote a lead foot, but the drive classic, "Radar Love," by Golden Earring, probably makes the miles go by faster.
The study found those revved up on riffs are more likely to disregard red lights and road crossings and to crash.
Technically speaking, it is because loud rock and dance music need more brain processing and thus competes with other functions like concentrating on driving.
For best driving, listen to teen sensation Taylor Swift's "Love Story," that is, if you can handle American Idol-style songs.
