Santa risks a print every year by taking Rudolph with him. After all, a red fog lamp at the front counts as faulty lighting and that will cost you 150 bucks. The cheerful gentleman with a wealthy belly is not the only one who has a greater chance of being fined thanks to Christmas. According to the South China University of Technology, there is a direct link between the beats per minute (bpm) of a song and the increase in reckless driving. Apparently works uptempo– exciting music. And there are quite a few fast-paced Christmas songs.
Irish car insurer Chill Insurance found out what the most dangerous Christmas music while driving is. The frontrunner should (we suspect) have the same effect as a solid white line with a hefty 172 bpm – and we don’t mean the one on the road surface. Something with powder snow. That is Frosty the Snowman by Gene Autry. By the way, if the song sounds like that, we would estimate the bpm a lot lower – but that will be up to us. Incidentally, Autry appears to hate road safety, because he is once again on the list for with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Safer numbers
For the sake of completeness, we also have a list of safer Christmas songs. It’s up to you to share this information or just keep it with you. We can imagine you were very happy for a reason not to have to play Bublé (number five of the safest songs) in the car. The safest number would be Fairytale of New York (78 bpm) are from The Pogues. Santa Baby (84 bpm) by Eartha Kitt is number two of the safest songs. Check out the list of the most dangerous Christmas music while driving below – and the safest songs below.
