Inappropriate music in cars

[phil752]

Help me settle an argument. I got into the car, wound the windows down and set off driving at the normal speed and the journey was getting a bit boring after a few minutes so I fumbled around for a CD in the pocket of my trench coat and then I found what I wanted. I shoved it in the CD player and turned up the volume really loud. It was a rap ensemble called NWA and I was loving the vibes! The open roads of Woodthorpe, the sun in my eyes and loud gangsta rap blaring out to all and sundry as I did the ‘rap moves’ with my non-steering hand. But then my driving instructor turned the CD player off and said it was not appropriate! So for my next lesson what do you reckon is appropriate music to take along?

 

go on why say trench coat, not just coat, then you say your a learner driver, to be honest, you are just taking the pee, to be polite. However, you are an advert for insurance companies to put the premiums up

Next time, just roll all windows down and put "Hit em up"

from 2Pac on maximum volume.

I once knew someone who, on a driving test was told by the examiner to park up and leave the car, and they had to walk back to the test centre. He said he was a danger on the road.

 

Mind you, that was nothing to do with loud music. he 'was' a really crap driver.

 

If he was that bad makes you wonder why his instructer told him to go for his test ?

Go on, I'll bite.

 

As you're still under instruction, and thus an inexperienced driver, you should be focusing solely upon learning about driving (in context, the auditory aspect of it: engine/gearbox/car noises, road noises, ambient noises) and listening to your instructor, not to a car radio.

 

Your finding a journey "a bit boring after a few minutes" says all that needs to be said, tbh.

 

Even once experienced, turning the volume "really loud" dims your perception of your environment and your reaction times.

 

If your driving instructor didn't tell you as much, change your driving instructor.

 

There, argument settled.

 

Maybe you should read this:

I'm pretty sure he had a 'mate' teach him (not a good idea) and put in for the test off his own bat.

Surely a joke should be amusing. This was just drivel, posted for reasons I can't fathom.

Hey friends. Thanks for your advice hitherto. Very useful suggestions by some of you such as:

 

Next time, just roll all windows down and put "Hit em up"

from 2Pac on maximum volume.

 

Bring a Kenny G cd and a pair of sunglasses.

 

I think both you and your instructor should listen to the smooth tunes of the saxophone king next time you’re driving around the streets of Sheffield with the sun in your eyes

 

These are both good suggestions. Maybe Kenny G for the first half hour to ease me into the lesson and then 2Pac Shaker for the 2nd half of the lesson when I’m nicely fired up and ready to put my peggle to the meggle as they say in the film. Thanks to yous.

 

However:

 

All his posts are the same...... not worth reading.

These bits of advice are not helpful to nobody so I respeckfully refrain from hijacking my thread just to make you feel big and ‘ard. Cheers pal.

Humour is a complex thing. Perhaps you don't find it amusing but others may do. I chuckled when I read the OP, but I don't want OhMyWord to get big headed, it was only a very minor chuckle, not a deep belly laugh or anything.
