Is there danger on board? Yes. And it's in your CD player or radio!
Turns out, if you listen to certain songs or musical compositions while driving, you could be courting disaster. And the No. 1 tune to avoid is, oddly enough, classical music: Richard Wagner's “Ride of the Valkyries.”
That's the word from Britain's RAC Foundation for Motoring, which has helpfully released a list of the top five songs you should never listen to while driving. The raucous “Ride of the Valkyries,” written in the mid-1800s, earned the top spot because it's too loud and the tempo is too fast. You might be tempted to match your speed to the beat.
Top five tunes you should ban from your car CD:
“Ride of the Valkyries” by Richard Wagner
“Dies Irae” from Giuseppe Verdi's “Requiem”
“Firestarter” by the Prodigy
“Red Alert” by Basement Jaxx
“Insomnia” by Faithless

Yeah. PRODIGY.
I miss having a vehicle. There are some red raging nights when you just want to CRANK the music and DARE the police to catch you.
Maybe its a good thing I don't have access to a vehicle.
:P
