If you’re a piano teacher and you rack up more traffic violations than your teenage son, new research suggests (at least this is what I choose to infer) that it just might not be your fault!
Follow my logic….
1. Piano teachers are more likely to listen to classical music.
2. According to a new study by the London Metropolitan University, individuals who listened to classical music while driving, drove most erratically.
3. Therefore, piano teachers are more likely to be dangerous drivers.
Is my reasoning flawed? Maybe … possibly … okay, probably. But that doesn’t mean the next time Officer Buckle pulls you over for running a red you shouldn’t at least attempt to enlighten him with this research!
Complete The Sentence…
Everyone gets a little distracted when their favorite driving song hits the airwaves, so in the comments below, complete the following sentence:
I really shouldn’t be driving when – fill-in-the-blank – comes on the radio. (I’ll start… I really shouldn’t be driving when Bryan Adam’s “Summer Of ‘69” comes on the radio!)
Okay… Your Turn
Listening to classical music makes people drive erratically?! Whaaa?!
No no no. Summer of 69 is driving music. Like hit the road and put the pedal down. Oh wait. That proves your point…
I really shouldn’t be driving when ‘Kiss You’ by one direction comes on. Yes, I’m a piano teacher, yes I love 1D 🙂 I’m 19 haha
I can see that though, if I listened to classical music while driving I would probably be more distracted, because when I listen to classical it sucks me in, and I have to really listen.
Too funny, but true! I shouldn’t be driving when listening to Chris Tomlin’s Arrival cd. I know this because I was ticketed enroute to Canada while singing along with Chris.
I once found I’d cut 5 minutes from a 25-minute trip to school while listening to Night on Bare Mountain! I decided it wasn’t a safe piece to drive to 😀
