A new experiment has found that a combination of listening to rap music and drinking strong coffee results in better skills behind the wheel. UK-based behavioral science consultancy CX Lab teamed up with car insurance company U Switch for an experiment measuring 103 drivers’ reaction times under different conditions.
“We partnered with behavioural science consultancy, CX Lab, to create our own unique reaction times experiment, using 16 different clips taken from the official DVSA Hazard Perception Test (HPT),” U Switch said in their report. “Participants were instructed to watch the clips and press space when they spotted a hazard. Participants first carried out the HPT with no sound, to establish a baseline for each as a control condition.”
