For me, I just unknowingly change my driving style with the music..
like.. sort of accelerate.. when hearing a peppy song...
just skid on.. for slow ones.. likewise
Have you ever felt like being influenced by the tempo of the music you hear while driving?
Or is it just independent of wat you think or hear?

I completely agree with you.
But I think the music affects my distraction level. When there is a lot going on in a song I tend to make stupid mistakes. If I'm listening to a pretty simple song I tend to drive better. So, when I listening to a loud, scremo song for example, I speed forget where I'm driving to, forget to check my blind spots, etc.

Ya every ones whoz a music lover is gonna shift the driving style with music. With slow music we tend to drivevery slowly bt we get pumped up when we hear a hip pop music and automatically accelerates

Sometimes yes I have been affected by my music. I guess if Im really into the song then it affects me and my style of driving. Face paced songs usually make me alert and make me want to speed and slow paced ones make me just wanna sit back and chill. Sometimes I am unaffected by my music and I just drive regularly.
