Did you know that you can save fuel and run your car on water

When there were no mobile phones, as now you do with these modern equipment in wanting to find against the justification of an event, you addossava much of the responsibility of road accidents in the habit of motorists to listen to music in your car, to trace the radio station distraendosi preferred or fiddling, then, with the cassette audio. Now that the focus of attention is represented by the mobile phone we you forget the music in the car, also seems have responsibilities in the sinister road.

To be of the opinion are the authors of a study conducted by Israeli researchers do allow the marriage incident, music in the car is closer than you think. But in contrast to a time when the danger was the ease with which you left the wheel to move keys and various buttons, now accused is the pace of the sound in your car, to the point that a slow music would recommend rather than that given by a sound hectic and fast, for example, a rhythm that makes percussion 120 beats per minute is responsible for more of road accidents.

To not count, always according to the researchers, who not just listen to music would even more protected from claims than those listening quiet music. In short, there is no peace for motorists who today are monitored, studied, analysed as guinea pigs from laboratory to demonstrate continuing links between events and scatenanti causes. The latest example is indicating that “listeners record an increase in blood pressure and heart beats” listening to music in your car, says consultant psychologist Conrad King. No matter if you listen to music Opera, classical or rave. It is the speed of the beats that counts.

In short, on something researchers agree, listen to music volume high or too high undermines the resilience of the motorist are once again to say Canadian researchers. Their thesis proving these scientists indicate a music “sparata” to 95 decibels weakens 20 % the resilience of those who help. But as any study that respects has its controaltare, this time represented by a parallel study of Dr. Nicholas Dibben, psicologa of the University of Sheffield, which argues that induced relaxation from the music behind the wheel has positive effects on road safety. “Singing while driving encourages not only the mind but also the body which, in turn, become more vigilant and reduces fatigue” says Dibben. Sing much less than in a normal conversation really distracting because drivers much more easily remember the words of songs already familiar with and also because it is easy enough to learn words new when are repeated multiple times in the refrains.

 
“Frullato” in the light of recent studies, expert advice can thus summarise in a sort of ten commandments that agrees to return to full:

(1) Better to listen to music relaxing when driving in traffic is particularly stressful, helps to calm! It is no coincidence if many taxisti do!

(2) Choose, if you can, music that evokes pleasant memories to evoke a feeling of peace and tranquillity. Probably you will have your favourite summer songs.

(3) Avoid listening to songs with texts too aggressive. For many, such stories are still ‘ more than ideals.

(4) Prevent the music too complex and difficult to remember (e.g. songs with a few riptezioni or unusual known songs remix) as may be highly distraenti.

(5) If you have to do a long journey, choose music varies in terms of volume, pace and style, to avoid bored.

(6) Listen to music at reasonable volume. The music too loudly there may distract and, if truly strong, could also annoy other passengers.

(7) Not use never earphones or headphones while driving. If you want to listen to the tracks to your MP3 player collegatelo, if possible, to the car stereo.
