Do you listen to football in the car

Will you be listening to the match tonight whilst driving home in the car? If so then you might want to think again - we are not in the game of predicting the score so this is not a warning that your team will lose.



A study by some research bods at the University of Leicester warns that listening to the match whilst driving can be a dangerous distraction. Their study found that more than two million motorists have had an accident or near-miss while driving and listening to the footie.

It appears that football fans, get as emotional in their cars as they do in the stadium stands. Tests carried out for the study showed casual listeners drove at a consistent pace throughout matches. Whilst, the football fans had a driving style that varied considerably and was sometimes erratic, particularly as the match progressed.

The researchers say if you enjoy football and get emotional and distracted, I recommend you pull over and listen to the match
