#Drake #ArianaGrande #Eminem
New research has found that listening to popular artists like Drake, Ariana Grande, Eminem, Billie Eilish, Beyoncé and Harry Styles can make you a better driver.
A study by Autotrader tested car operators, who were subjected to 20 popular artists while their “hazard perception” was being tested on the road.
Higher scores indicate greater levels of concentration, meaning the participants identified and reacted to hazards quicker when listening to that artist.
Lovers of Drake scored 59.5 out of 75 on their hazard perception scores.
Ariana Grande and Eminem fans tied for second place at 58.5, while Billie Eilish listeners were third with 57 for their defensive driving dexterity.
The Korean pop group BTS tied with The Weeknd at 56.5 for fourth place.
Beyoncé came in fifth with a score of 55.5
Meanwhile, two artists of different centuries seemed to offer dangerous tendencies for listeners behind the wheel: Megan Thee Stallion and classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach scored 37.5 and 42.5, respectively.
