Perhaps a little known fact however according to researchers at the RAC foundation of research. Listening to loud music, or cranked up base in cars leads to an increased risk of a road traffic accident and car accident claims putting both the driver and other road users at unnecessary risk.
Lets face it soft music in the background is not what the researchers are talking about so listening to your favourite radio station is unlikely to place you or anyone else in danger of making a car crash claim. But those who have the their base cranked up to the max with ear bursting tunes are twice as likely to have a car accident or jump a red
light.
In car stereo with base and amplifiers do appear to be getting more louder as the technology develops and are becoming common place on todays roads a stereo can produce some 100dB of sound. If we listened to noise levels over 85 dB for over eight hours a day we can expect to sustain some kind of hearing loss.
The RAC Executive Director warned that motorists should be more responsible when driving on today’s busy roads and not crank their stereos to loud for the sake of the latest tune, which could due to a lapse in concentration place other peoples lives in risk causing the personal injury of a car crash.
