This book, the first full-length text on the subject, explores the
everyday use of music listening while driving a car. It presents
the relationship between cars and music in an effort to understand
how music behaviour in the car can either enhance driver safety or
place the driver at increased risk of accidents. A great deal of
work has been done to investigate and reduce driver distraction and
inattention, but this book is the first to focus on in-cabin aural
backgrounds of music as a contributing factor to human error and
traffic violations. Driving With Music begins by outlining the
automobile, its relationship to society, and the juxtaposition of
music with the automobile as a complete package. It then highlights
concepts from the fields of music perception and cognition, and,
within this framework, looks at the functional use of background
music in our everyday lives. Driver music behaviours - both
adaptive and maladaptive - are explored, with the focus on
contradictions and ill-effects of in-car music listening.
