Perhaps we could fire off another thread on the psycho-acoustic effects of the music that drivers listen to? This is unchartered territory for me, but I'd like to gather some opinions upon how it influences our driving.
The generic road safety brigade (ie. those who subscribe to the idea of a national speed limit of 5mph or some such other stupidity) would be appauled by this suggestion (read on):-
"Music that leads you to drive more rapidly is beneficial to safety. It enhances your perception of what's around and ahead of you, thereby making your driving safer. Heightened awareness is not a bad thing, in my opinion. If something as simple as the music that you like at a perceived level of loudness (volume) you like makes you safer then that's a good thing and should be encouraged."
I will add that awareness and perception cannot necesarily be regarded as one and the same, before the dead-from-the-toes-upward bunch start attacking me.
Assembled ladies and gentlemen, I await your comments.
