BengalszoneBilly Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 From Reuters "Off-Beat" News:Rock classics drive motorists over limit Thu Apr 12, 8:47 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Want to stay safe on the roads? Then avoid listening to Guns N Roses, Meat Loaf and Bruce Springsteen behind the wheel. The trio are among the artists featured on a top 10 of tracks that get people's blood pumping and in the mood to drive aggressively.Some 1,700 voters have so far responded to an online poll run by Electronic Arts and AOL to mark the launch of a new racing videogame, "Burnout Dominator."The resultant shortlist of tracks that get people revved up -- and that drivers should avoid listening to in the real world -- spans more than 30 years of chart favorites, although none of them actually reached number 1.It includes classic rock tracks, such as Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" and Springsteen's "Born to Run," as well as tracks such as Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" and Guns N Roses' "Paradise City."More modern tracks, including The Killers' "When we were Young" and Feeder's "Buck Rogers" also featured, as did -- perhaps fittingly -- "You Will Be Under My Wheels" by dance act the Prodigy.All this makes me wonder if listening to "Yanni" will make you drive slower!

BlainThePain Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 When I was 16 I had my license for about a month before I had the only big wreck on my life (so far). I was on a curvy backroad listening to the radio when "Walk" by Pantera came on. I was driving at about 45 and sped up to about 75 and nailed a pine tree that was about 18 feet tall and then went through the local chief of police's wood fence. I don't think I would have wrecked that night if I would have had the radio off, and yes I was an idiot during my teenage years. I bet the rate for this is a lot higher for males under 24.
