This momentary distraction causes slower reaction times and increased brain activity. This was the result of research done at the Ear Institute of University College London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As the decibels increase, the reaction time worsens, and listening to familiar music at high volumes yields the worst results.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-data443-irp-shortcode irp-shortcode\"><div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:1em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/must-have-upgrades-and-accessories-for-your-next-offroad-adventure\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"u02ea0f7ae1987bfccfacaaa30e88f2df\"><style> .u02ea0f7ae1987bfccfacaaa30e88f2df { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #34495E!important; text-decoration:none; } .u02ea0f7ae1987bfccfacaaa30e88f2df:active, .u02ea0f7ae1987bfccfacaaa30e88f2df:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u02ea0f7ae1987bfccfacaaa30e88f2df { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u02ea0f7ae1987bfccfacaaa30e88f2df .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#464646; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u02ea0f7ae1987bfccfacaaa30e88f2df .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u02ea0f7ae1987bfccfacaaa30e88f2df:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">See also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">Must-Have Upgrades and Accessories for Your Next Offroad Adventure<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Accident Analysis and Prevention took 85 beginner drivers and assigned them to driving routes while playing their favorite songs at higher volumes. The experiment resulted in different driving violations, such as speeding, tailgating, road rage, and weaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, loud music negatively affects driving because we tend to lose focus on the road. This rings especially true if familiar songs are playing on the radio. After all, who can resist singing to their favorite tunes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Most Dangerous Songs to Play While Driving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn&rsquo;t a single genre of music that&rsquo;s attributed to distracted and dangerous driving. Meanwhile, &ldquo;familiar music&rdquo; is too individualized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, for this list, we defer to the findings of researchers at the South China University of Technology. <strong>They came to the conclusion that songs with 120 beats per minute (BPM) can affect how you drive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The worst offenders are <em>American Idiot<\/em>, <em>Party in the USA<\/em>, <em>Mr. Brightside<\/em>, <em>Born to Run<\/em>, and <em>Don&rsquo;t Let Me Down<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">American Idiot &ndash; Green Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Green Day - American Idiot [Official Music Video] [4K Upgrade]\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ee_uujKuJMI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>American Idiot<\/em> by Green Day is one of their most popular songs. While it was released over two decades ago, the song still has a strong grip on Americans due to its visual impact, rebellious spirit, and political commentary. Not to mention, it never fails to tug at everyone&rsquo;s nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the song&rsquo;s beat is what makes it dangerous. According to the studies, its tempo made it the most dangerous thanks to the song&rsquo;s 189 beats per minute, more than twice the others. It also helps that the lyrics are catchy, and the song is easy to sing along with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Party in the USA &ndash; Miley Cyrus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A.

One that has stood the test of time, you&rsquo;ll still stumble upon karaoke sessions where everyone sings along. It&rsquo;s safe to say the song is a timeless classic, and there&rsquo;s a perfectly good reason why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s the nostalgic anthem for those who grew up listening to The Killers. It blends elements of rock, post-punk revival, and a touch of new wave to create a distinct sound that stood out during the early 2000s music scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of construction, <em>Mr. Brightside <\/em>is not as intense as <em>American Idiot<\/em> because it has different tempos. However, it does suffer from the same issues as <em>Party in the USA<\/em>. The song is simply too catchy to not sing along to once you hear the iconic first few chords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could easily lead to distracted driving, especially when you hit the chorus in a car full of friends who share the same music taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Born to Run &ndash; Bruce Springsteen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IxuThNgl3YA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, Bruce Springsteen.

The song follows the classic pattern of starting off mellow before exploding at the chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crescendo can mess with drivers and knock them off their focus. <em>Don&rsquo;t Let Me Down<\/em> is a party song and for a good reason.
