For me, it’s this one. At least there is a great Saxon cover with a super cheesy 80s video, including 270 degree guitar rotation during the solo:

I played “Drivin’ Crazy” for my girlfriend once. She loves it, and the other day messaged me that she shouted “dorifto!” when her Elantra GT lost traction during a turn.

So, count me in with the Eurobeat thing.

I quit exposing my friends to showtunes, and I will do the same here. But, Grease soundtrack is probably acceptable because it’s a movie soundtrack.

Feva for the Flavor by Hot Action Cop.

There is a local highway the looks exactly like the one in NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 that goes through a forest. It’s really hard to contain myself if this song starts playing.

My tickets have been to the Rolling Stones.

Didn’t have the stereo on the two times I’ve been arrested. Hope I don’t skew the results.

That seems like a valid legal defense, but sometimes it’s easier to pay the ticket.

Though I’m confused, wouldn’t keeping the Stones on to prevent arrest be cheaper than posting bail?

Songs like this will make me inadvertently drive faster.

It’s not necessarily a great song, and by no means a particularly good video, but it’s just one of those pump up songs. I would poke fun at my girlfriend by calling it a toe tapper.

I also really avoid listening to metal while driving because that will make me more aggressive than need be.

I tend to stick to easy listening or chillstep while driving. It’s not in a hurry, so neither am I.
