Do you like to listen loud music while driving?

yes, but with headphone in my ears.. ^ ^ LOL

Uh oh...I DO like to play my music very loud when I'm driving although really only when I'm on the freeway doing a long haul. When I drive off the freeway and into towns, I tend to turn it down and in neighborhoods even lower. I agree though that it's quite irritating when youngsters play their music loud in cars but especially in towns and in neighborhoods - its very rude too - shows no consideration for others. I think you have a good point and give me pause for thought

I tend to agree with you. I do not drive but don't really like people that use their cars as their own private disco. And then there's that safety issue that you mention very well besides. Driving is a privilege and also brings a lot of responsability, it shouldn't be taken as lightly as it is by some or most people, even.

I don't listen to it too loud... No there should not be a law to prohibit it, do we really need the government bossing us around on the all details in life? No.

The youth loves loud music. Adult wants soft music. In our place playing loud music in a car is already prohibited. I do play soft music while in the car.

Hi clorissa! I don't usually listen to music real loud when I'm driving in town or where there's a lot of traffic. Sometimes I do like to turn it up when I'm on a long drive in the country or on the freeway. I think people should be responsible enough to know whether the music is loud enough that it's distracting to their driving, or to others when they have it so loud you can hear it in the next car. Sometimes when my sister and I are going somewhere together a song will come on that we both really like, so one of us will turn it up. But then we usually wind up turning it back down because we wind up having to yell if we want to talk to each other. :)

I enjoy listening to music, but at an acceptable volume. If the music is too loud, it will be a suffering for me, instead of enjoyment. Usually I will play the music in car at medium amplitude. I totally agree with you that, it's safer to keep the music volume low, so that we can know if there is any strange sound coming from the engine bonnet. Beside, we could still hear the honking or siren from a distance.

i do not like loud music while i am driving and think it is unsafe as it is very distracting to the driver. i like loud music when i am out dancing and sometimes when i am home and just feel like listening to music.

Me neiher, I hate listening to loud music while driving. Not only is the siren of police or ambulance unhearable, but also anoy another drivers/pedestrians, especially in the middle of night. I agree if the law should be made upon that 'bad' habit. But as long as it doesn't disturb as, there will be no reason for us to make it 'prohibited'. What do you think ? Just feel free to comment. =)

i don't drive a car, and we have no car of our own yet, we can't afford of having one now. but when i know how to drive, i would prefer driving with soft music that is pleasing to hear, it's kind of relaxing and keeps me calm while driving. i hate loud and rock music, it's irritating to my ears.

I play loud music if it's long drive and if I'm alone on the road. But I don't play it that loud if I'm in a traffic jam... It might intimidate the other drivers or worse, they might think I'm very flashy....

It depends on my mood. When I'm sleepy, I need some upbeat tunes to keep me alive so sometimes I turn the volume up. My friends and I also do this when we're together on roadtrips because we'd normally be singing along to keep the drive interesting and fun.

I don't usually drive with loud music myself, only when it's late and I need a way to keep myself awake. I find that with loud music I tend to drive at higher speeds, thus I try not to do it since I intend to live a long life :p I find it quite annoying when people blast their music at full volume and speed down the road as well, but to each his own I guess.

I especialy like loud music when i am driving.I think that then people notice me as a cool dude or so lol. Just joking.. loud music makes me forget about my worries and all so i pretty often do that

Hi there! I don't play loud music when I am driving. It also irritates me when I hear vehicles with loud music on. It distracts other drivers on the street. You are right there are no laws about drivers playing loud music while driving but at driving schools it is thought that we have to avoid such habit. It might cause us to have accident if we cannot hear clearly what's going on around us on the street. A car might be honking on us cause we are blocking its way. I went to a driving school so I know this rule. Ciao!

For me it mainly depends on if I'm alone or not in the car and whether or not I need to think. I love to drive. I drive a car that I love, it's really comfortable and one of my favorite places to be. If there's someone riding with me and we are talking I turn the radio down or off. I've had some rude friends that would try to talk to me on their cell phone with the music cranked. As if I could hear! I would always get irritated and just hang up on them. However, if I'm by myself I like to turn up the volume a bit depending on my mood. If I'm especially angry or really happy I usually turn it up pretty loud and maybe sing along. But there are times when I just like to hear the engine and think about things. I either turn it down very low so that it is just some background noise or completely off.

This is a very interesting discussion. In my country a law like that hasnt been placed for regular drivers but it has been placed for bus drivers that drive school buses and for public transportation. Now I love to hear music because it calms me down while Im driving. My country suffers from noise pollution, hearing music (in a very good volume, not a high loud volume) has been proven statistically that it helps the driver improve in their skill.. and trust me, to drive here you must have a lot of patience. Being a small country we dont have the big and long freeways that big cities in United States have, we do have special freeway roads that are wide, but the regular city streets are quite narrow. Though I love to hear music, I dont agree with loud BOOM BOOM BOOM over the top music, it isnt just because of ambulance services or cops or anything like that, its also a matter of respect.

I don't listen to the music loudly when inside of a car. In case, there is an emergency vehicle coming up behind me so I have to alert at all times. I do like listening to music in the car but quietly on the radio.

No listening loud music specially in the car is more danger your self because it can cause accident so I don't prohibit it.

No,I don't like it neither.Because it is so noisy and I can not focus my attention..It is a big problem.Of course I don't drive ,I just in the car and I feel it is not good..
