I Can't Drive 55

No this is not a post about Gov. Corzine's unfortunate auto accident.

It is, instead, about preventative measures you can take to avoid the same fate.

Like, for instance, erasing Meat Loaf from your Ipod.

Want to stay safe on the roads? Then avoid listening to Guns N Roses, Meat Loaf and Bruce Springsteen behind the wheel.

The trio are among the artists featured on a top 10 of tracks that get people's blood pumping and in the mood to drive aggressively.

Erase "Bat out of Hell", you say! Preposterous! I would do anything for safety, but I won't do that. Oh No. I said I won't do that.

You just don't understand. I want automotive safety. I need automotive safety. But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love automotive safety.

And since two out of three aint bad, are there other songs/artists I could avoid instead? Luckily, there are!

It includes classic rock tracks, such as Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" and Springsteen's "Born to Run," as well as tracks such as Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" and Guns N Roses' "Paradise City."

More modern tracks, including The Killers' "When we were Young" and Feeder's "Buck Rogers" also featured, as did -- perhaps fittingly -- "You Will Be Under My Wheels" by dance act the Prodigy.

Heh...the Ace of Spades lifestyle contributes to car accidents. I didn't know you morons could afford cars. Or insurance. Or gas.

Although these results do confirm a long standing rule I've had. If you are ever offered a ride by someone who is blaring a song by "dance act the Prodigy" just say no.

Cause that's an accident just waiting to happen.

Even if the car never gets into drive.
