Tempo

My favourite driving home DJ Johnny Vaughn was talking today about how a recent survey had pointed out that fast music while you are driving causes fast driving.

He quite correctly pointed out that this is a regularly occurring story and is stating the bleeding obvious.

There was then much debate about AC/DC and he asked his listeners to suggest their most speed-inducing tunes - funniest of which was The Benny Hill Theme.

He also mused about whether this applied to someone riding a donkey and, if it did, would the rider or the donkey have the headphones on.

Personally, anything written by Jim Steinman or anything Rave-ish from the '90s will do it for me.

I decided to find the latest findings and one article I found was this one from The Driving Instructor's Association.

Basically, insurers Allianz have teamed up with Spotify to curate safer playlists for driving to.

It actually seems like a very good idea.

The only thing is, I also sometimes like to listen to my Chilled Ibiza CDs.

What will they do about drivers falling asleep at the wheel?
