Researchers at China's Yunnan Institute of Technology said singing with a per-minute BPM of more than 120 promotes dangerous driving habits such as speeding. If you speed up your vehicle to music on icy roads or black ice roads (a phenomenon in which snow or rain freezes and a thin ice film is formed on the surface of the road), the possibility of an accident increases.
Citing the study, the insurance guidance global website 'insuranceopedia' selected and announced a 'dangerous' Christmas carol while driving.
First place went to 'Frosty The Snowman' by Jimmy Durant, an American comedy actor and singer who died in 1980. The song has a BPM of 172.
Singer Mariah Carey's song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" with BPM 150 was followed by Jose Felicia's "Feliz Navidad" in third place.
Then let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer!', 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day', 'Have Yourself a Merry Christmas Everyday', 'I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus' in order.
"It is important to recognize how music affects our driving habits during the year-end and New Year holidays," an Insurance Opedia official said. "Exciting festival music brings joy, but it can distract you and interfere with your driving concentration."
