We all have that jam that can get us really into the Christmas spirit, no matter how miserly we may be.
But what happens if you get too little? also Can you really be fined for singing Christmas carols in the car?
Comparison site, Uswitch has issued a warning to motorists stating that a car may not be the best place to practice your karaoke skills.
They have warned that drivers who sing and dance behind the wheel could face a massive fine of up to £5,000 if caught.
Drivers face a fine of up to £5,000
Motorists who have a lot of fun with music while on the road can pick up a “driving without adequate care and attention” or even a “dangerous driving” charge.
If you’re singing loud, dancing in your seat, and generally getting into a groove, you’re in danger of being distracted from the job at hand—which keeps your eyes on the road.
If there is evidence, whether dashcam footage or testimony from a police officer, that you were dancing and singing before an accident, you could eventually be prosecuted for dangerous driving or driving without proper care and attention.
Penalties can be severe, with a fine of up to £5,000 and nine points on your license in the most serious of circumstances.
Loud music can also put you at risk of a fine, so avoid turning the volume up too high. Although police officers do not have the power to stop a driver for listening to loud music, they may punish you if they think it is causing a distraction. This could include the volume of music drowning out audible safety warnings, such as other motorists honking their horns, or sirens from emergency services vehicles.
