10 ‘dangerous’ Christmas songs drivers must steer clear of to avoid risky actions
Experts say music with slower tempo is less stimulating, allowing drivers to maintain focus on the road
Christmas, although not officially recognised or approved as a public holiday in mainland China, is still celebrated by many. Festive songs fill the air, especially in big shopping malls and commercial establishments, creating a holiday ambience.
Christmas is joyful, and festive tunes can elevate the holiday spirit. Therefore, it may seem surprising that some of these celebratory tracks could be deemed “dangerous”.
Strangely enough, a prestigious university in southern China has conducted a study forming the basis of a list of “10 dangerous Christmas songs” that individuals concerned about their health should avoid at all costs.
The eventual list particularly warns against listening to these songs while driving, as their beats per minute (BPM) are considered too high, potentially impacting mental and cardiovascular health and encouraging risky driving behaviour.
According to the South China University of Technology (SCUT) in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, overseas experts, extracting data from their study, have created this list of “10 dangerous Christmas songs” for drivers worldwide, as reported by the New York Post.
