music while you drive
« on: 18 April 2009, 18:48:04 »

last few weeks ive had bowie, nirvana, and eminem, the who on while driving and been a bit sporty and more petrol. last week i changed it over to a more relaxed style. angie stone, millie jackson, david gray and ive slowed down and more relaxed driving, less petrol

do you think the music you play in the car affects how you drive??

I keep finding bloody ABBA CDs in the bloody car.  I lay the blame fairly and squarely at Mrs DTM and Ljay  >:(

Meat Loaf's 'Bat out of Hell' is one of my favourites that 'gets me going', as does Led Zep's "Stairway to Heaven". ::) ::)

The Beatles "Ticket to Ride" makes for a fairly relaxed ride. :D :D

In heavy traffic or just big motorway hold ups it is The Rolling Stones "Paint it Black" that I put up full volume. 8-) 8-) 8-)

So yes, the answers for me is that the music does affect how you drive! ;D ;D ;D ;)

Yes, like them as well Ian. :y :y

I was going to, and now I will, mention Pat Boone's "Speedy Gonzales" which is a great driving record turned full up, but that is probably unknown to many of you(?) ::) ::) :D ;)
