Hey SusieQz

I think you will find it is because when there is someone else there you are distracted and don't fall into the hypnotic beat which most music has (except rap which isn't music it's trash talk to dhuff dhuff sounds).

If there is someone there you are more likely to be in conversation than drawn into the music. There are so many accidents involving 17-24 yr old males because of their very loud dhuff dhuff music in their toy cars and they are unable to pay attention to anything but batting their heads up and down to the noise in their cars.

There were some here on the weekend at the surf club the noise was intolerable and when my partner went out on Monday there was a dead Wallaby (small kangaroo), on the road; that has never happened here before ever and it shows the fact that they can't focus on anything but their music.

Poor Wallaby hope it didn't have a joey in the pouch
