To promote safe driving during the Christmas season, Insuranceopedia conducted a study on Christmas number one hits and their beats per minute (BPMs) to identify which Christmas songs are most dangerous to listen to while on the road.
The research, which focused on songs with a BPM exceeding 120, identified a correlation between higher BPM and an increase in risky driving behaviors. The findings, based on research from the South China University of Technology, shed light on the potential impact of music tempo on driver behavior.
‘Frosty the Snowman’ has a fast tempo of 172 BPM making it the most dangerous song to drive to. Its speed can negatively affect both mental and physical capabilities to drive safely.
