What's you're driving song?
We've all been guilty of performing a concert in our car to our favourite songs.
A new study has found the most distracting and dangerous to listen to behind the wheel.
Researchers found that if you want to hear some tunes while driving, the “safest” option is Billie Eilish’s “bad guy".
The study finds Eilish’s hit has the lowest “distraction score” (8.1%) out of the songs in Spotify’s 20 most popular driving playlists.
The team ranked each tune’s ability to distract a driver based on three key scores: danceability, high energy, and how emotionally charged the music is.
Songs that researchers consider extremely distracting were more energetic and emotionally charged but had a low danceability score.
According to Studyfinds, the PassMeFast team said:
“It isn’t just music which can affect driving at this time of the year."
"In winter, roads will be icy, snow will probably be forecast, and you can bet that come 4pm it’ll already be dark,”
