While your driving in the car all by yourself? I cant say I do that. But I have seen alot of people singing while they are driving and I think its hilirous. Dont they know people are watching them? I know you will find this hard to believe but I cant sing! So do you sing while driving?

Oh, I have to admit I do, but not if someone is driving right next to me, haha.
And the funny thing is, I listen to hard rock so I'm just having a good old time with it, lol! and funnier yet, I look way too old to be doing this, HAHA!.....oh, sometimes I just make myself laugh!

Yes, I do. I try not to make a big production while I'm doing it, so I hope no one notices too much. lol I have seen discussions about people that sing and dance in their car, now I'm not sure how they do that. That sounds a little dangerous to me.

To each their own, I say. Understand that some people come from more restrictive points of view. For example, my dad has been drinking for as long as I can remember and I think getting 'drunk' is self-destructive. Other people might not have had such a bad example and think that a good big of intoxication is just fun.
Either way, Karaoke is easier when you are too drunk to care how you sound. This, I think is the point of singing in the car. Why would you care what you sound like or look like for that matter? The other people in other cars have no opportunity to make you feel like a fool, they can't say anything to you, and it is unlikely that they will try to run you off the road for singing while driving. So, why not?

If I know the song really well I might. There is one song that I don't know all the words to that I will sing anyway. It's 'Love Shack' by the B-52s. I heard it ages ago and it stuck with me. I turn it up full blast and have at it. And I know people can see me, so sometimes as I'm sitting at a stop light singing, I'll wave at whoever is next to me. : )

Yes I definitely sing in the car whether I am by myself or have someone else with me!!! It's just good fun and I really don't care who sees me - I am not out there performing or anything just totally enjoying myself!!
Funny enough I will also sing at home too - and our boys keep asking me wouldn't you be embarassed if someone else was here - and you bet I tell them - nope sure wouldn't - it's just who I am!!! Of course I have been in church productions as well as school productions back in the day as well as singing at parties for friends when I was younger - and never heard anyone complain so guess it wasn't bad!!!!

Yes, I do all my singing alone in the car. I can't carry a tune but I like to sing. Unfortunately, nobody can stand to listen to me (Nobody but me. I think I sound pretty good) so I blast the radio and sing along in the car where I can serenade myself without breaking anybody else's ear drums. LOL

I always sing while driving; it's the only place I can do it where I know no one will hear me! I'm a pretty bad singer, but I just can't help myself in the car. :-)
I will stop singing when I'm at a stop light usually, because I know it would look funny to the people in the other cars (of course, they might just think I'm talking on my cell phone nowadays).

It's not hard to believe. Not everyone was born a singer. I sing while driving all the time, as does my husband. It is relaxing and stress-relieving, and overall personally lifting. My husband and I are both singers, with great voices. However, it doesn't matter if you can or cannot sing. If you are driving in your car and singing, you don't care if others on the road are watching you or not. You are doing it for your own purposes. Everyone else's opinions don't matter. I don't care how I look to other people while I'm singing and/or dancing in my car seat while driving. Who cares?! It's for me, whether just to relax or to practice. It is funny when you do happen to look over and see someone else doing it, especially if they seem to be really into it, but hey, I say more power to them! They are having a good time. As long as they are being a smart driver and paying good attention to the road at the same time, it's all good! As long as the person isn't driving poorly and going to cause an accident, or unless you are just a people-watching kind of person, why are you looking around at others while driving anyway (that is a general question to everyone, not meant to insult or single you out at all -TerryZ-)? Anyway, that is how I look at it.

I sing in the car, in the shower, even at the store with my son. I also do that little bop along with the music in the car. I don't care if anyone is looking at me and laughing. It makes me feel good and happy and that is what matters to me.
I have even danced in front of my living room window by myself. I know when I see stuff like that, it makes me smile. Having a small child has helped me be more silly sometimes. Being silly can be really good for you.
I once heard someone say "A day without laughter is a wasted day". I don't know who actually said that, I know it's a quote from someone, but it's true. If my being silly helps someone else have a little laughter in their life, then I don't mind.
Besides, you know you really want to sing along and it's fun! :)

I do sing in the car, even when I have people with me. I'm not a great singer but when it's a good song you just can't help it. I think most people sing when they're in the car, especially when they're alone in the car. It gets boring to be driving so you just sing without even noticing you're doing it. It is funny when you look at the car next to you and you know the guy is belting out some Celine Dion though.

When I drive in my car, I sing aloud and often get my head moving to the music. I love to sing! I could care less who sees me! Singing for me is a release.

Yes I do sing but not all the time especially when I'm driving the car because I want to focus more on the wheels. But I always sing the karaoke. I love to do that because it can somehow relieve the stress that I have. Singing is a good outlet for a depressed person.
