Can Beginners Listen to Music While Driving?

[LaBeau]

Beginners are not recommended to listen to music while driving. Here are the specific reasons why beginners should avoid listening to music while driving: Affects Speed Perception: Especially with fast-paced or highly stimulating music, adrenaline secretion increases, putting the driver in an excited state. The frequency and volume of heart pumping significantly rise, making the brain more alert and capable of processing more information in the same amount of time. This creates an illusion of reduced speed, leading the driver to press the accelerator harder, unconsciously increasing the vehicle's speed. Reduces Reaction Time: Slow or overly soothing and prolonged music can deepen the driver's fatigue. In this state, the driver's reaction time significantly decreases, their perception of speed weakens, and their judgment of distance becomes inaccurate.
