Well, most people do. I like to listen to music while I am riding only not driving. I can not concentrate if I am driving and listening at the same time.. ahahah.. I am just wondering about those drivers who have very loud rock music in the car? Do you think they can still concentrate on the traffic while listening to that deafening sound? It is irritating to me. When a car pass by with a very loud music? it drives me nuts!!! what about you? do you love to hear that type of sound on your car while driving? Just curious!!!

I love listening to music while driving especially when I'm by myself. It's as if I have company. But, I don't like my sounds to be too loud. And besides, it's not advisable to have too loud sounds in the car because you need to be able to hear what's going on outside.

Oh, I love loud rock and roll!! I can't drive anymore without some of it blaring. I feel like I get to my destination quicker and have a more uplifting day if I have it on. I love classic rock and roll!!

Yes, really! You have to merge with the music. It is like becoming a part of it. It eneters you. Has to have a good boogey beat. Goes to your bones. Your brain and concentrating? It actually helps me. If it really bothers you then I can see your point but, if you enjoy the beat and the music says something to you then it is a good thing all around.

Well, i love it when I'm driving; matte of fact, if I'm on the road, I take a set of cds and all. Keeps my mind on the road and not diverted. That is definitely my thing to do on the road and even locally.

actually I like listening to rap and rock when I am driving. Classical or too mellow of music put me to sleep. But rap or rock music keeps me awake and alert but dosn't cause me to get road rage,I actually drive very calm when listening to this type of music.

Nope! For me is somewhat distracting at all if I'm the one who drives the car but if my friend did...well, probably a music that does "not" make me yawn or cry duhhhh...

I have to have music on...especially when I'm the only one in the car. I tend to get bored otherwise and my eyes start really watching my surroundings...not the road and the cars around me. LOL The music helps me stay focused to what I'm doing.
Usually when the kids are with me though they like to sing. So we sing a lot of abc's and stuff like that when they are with me.

Music in any form is soothing to ears and refreshes your souls. Music irrespective of teh culture and language can be shared and enjoyed by every individual. Not only humans, but animals also enjoy and dance to the tune of music.

Yes, it is nerve racking when a car pass by and the music is really loud. It sounds like the car is thumping or vibrating. I think that would drive anybody nuts. I do like to listen to music while I'm driving. That is really about the only time that I listen to music is when I'm driving. When I'm home I normally have the television on.

Oh!! I like that.. yes, when I am the one driving I don't like any noise around me like music, or talking. I want full concentration.. but when I am a passenger I would love to listen to music.. But most drivers want to have music and talking so that they will not fall asleep. Like you, I want full concentration too.

yes i do like listening music while driving, specially when its a long drive, i use to play music while driving on the way to work every morning. its kind of giving you more energy to grove a little bit by music in the morning so i like it. but i dont listen to music after work as i am tired and just want to get home as soon as possible.
happy posting.

i prefer to listen to music or to the radio while i'm driving. i still can concentrate at the same time, lol. but i'm not to the extend of turning it very loudly & disturbing others. maybe i don't like to promote any songs or radio stations to others around my vehicle while i'm driving? LOL!
of course i don't like those loud sounds from other vehicles. the songs or sounds are not my cup of tea usually, lol. i wonder whether i could accept it if they are listening to my favourite songs loudly from their vehicles? nah, i think i prefer to listen to it softly inside my own car! LOL!

I LOVE IT!!!! Nothing is better to me than driving to the store and your favorite jam comes on and you crank up the music singing on the top of your lungs the lyrics. I love watching people beside me to dancing around or singing. I more so get amused by those people, but it definately brings a smile to my face and puts me in a better mood. I think when I first started driving it was a little much, but now it doesn't bother me. A lot of people turn to music as a stress relief so if it eases them up behind the wheel then in turn less agressive drivers are on the road! =]

Yeah, I like listening to music while driving. Music always helps drown out people that annoy you like a girlfriend that starts talking about marriage.

Man, do I EVER! I LOVE listening to music while driving! I feel like a million bucks when I'm cruising down an open highway with my music going and I'm singing along. It's such a great feeling!

i drive back and forth an hour a day to work, so i listen to audi books, an itouch, and talk on the cell phone, not at the same time. I do worry that sometimes i am worries to much about finding a song on the itouch, dial a phone number or spacing out listeing to a story and not totally into the driving. there is kind of an auto pilot feel doing the same commute day after day. I do not like it loud and hate when somebody next to me at red light makes it so I cannot hear what i am trying to listening to.
