SURVEY: DRIVING WITH MUSIC ON

Researchers from Ben-Gurion University in Israel examined the driving habits of 140 young adults about how their music influences them when they’re driving.
– 80 percent of the group say it’s not just “difficult,” but sometimes “impossible” to concentrate on road conditions or traffic problems WITHOUT their music on.
– Most of the respondents said they’ll stay in the car until whatever song is playing is finished, even after reaching their destination.
– Nearly every respondent (97%) told researchers they prefer listening to several short songs when taking a long trip.
– Nearly two in three (65%) said they play “fast-paced” music on their commute to work.
* I guess I’d better sing this story.
* This explains the memo this morning that says to play all the songs at double speed.
* 140 young adults in the survey? Why so many?
* Israel: Number One in morning drive commuter satisfaction.
* Music in the car. Good to see the same rigorous standards applied to research in Israel as in America.
