Drivers listening to higher tempo songs while in the car are more likely to drive erratically, according to a new study<\/a> conducted by Moneybarn.<\/p>\n

Two genres were tested in the study \u2013 rock music and light music. Ten tracks were chosen, with tempo for the selected rock songs all above 120 beats per minute (BPM) while the light music songs were all below 80 BPM.<\/p>\n

Topping the list of \u201cmost dangerous\u201d songs was Green Day\u2019s American Idiot<\/em>, with 189 BPM. Led Zeppelin\u2019s Stairway to Heaven<\/em> was named the least dangerous.<\/p>\n

According to researchers: \u201cThis paper presents the study on the association between in-vehicle music listening, physiological and psychological response, and driving performance, using the driving simulator approach, with which personality (temperament) was considered.<\/p>\n

\u201cResults of mixed analysis of variance indicated that the effects of music genre and driver character on driving performance were significant. The arousal level perceived mental workload, standard deviation of speed, and frequency of lane crossing were higher when driving under the influence of rock music than that when driving under the influence of light music or an absence of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
