Do you Listen to the Radio while You Drive?
Or do you like peace and quiet? If you listen to the radio, what is your favorite driving music?

Yes, usually BBC Radio Three; playing mainly but not only so-called "classical" music. Actually anything from Early via Classical to Contemporary plus some jazz and folk; and some speech programmes. It is a friendly station too, whose presenters welcome, treat and respect you as a reasonably intelligent grown-up - of any age from 10 to 100+.
Sometimes selected programmes on Radio Four but they are speech not music, difficult to hear properly in a moving car. Anyway I concentrate on the driving, not the radio.
I avoid pop or rock. Although I like the earlier styles of the former, and heavy rock, I prefer something gentler when driving.
With no CD or other music player in the car I rely on the wireless (surprisingly for a relatively modern car it has a radio / cassette unit, but I have few playable tapes); but I cannot abide the stress-raising, patronising inanity of daytime pop channels.
If nothing takes my fancy on the radio at the time, I do not switch it on!
Same at home too: I can live without it if necessary or if, unusually, nothing attracts me at the time. I listen selectively, using the [i]Radio Times[/i] as the only listings magazine as far as I know, publishing any useful information on radio programmes. (Though even then, most of it covers TV.)
