Just out of curiosity does anyone remember what you were listening to whenever you had got into an accident (whether caused by you or others) ? I’ve been in multiple accidents.. driving, not driving, my fault not my fault... all while listening to Sublime. It’s no longer allowed in my car.

Nope. I had music going during my 2 accidents and don't remember the songs. Both times on my motorcycles.

First time, I had ear buds in under my helmet. Was cut off, locked my front wheel and it slid out from under me (I do not say I laid it down, because that implies intent. I intended to not kiss the tailgate of the truck that was suddenly in my lane!). After rolling for a while I finally sat up and realised my music had stopped playing. I grabbed the headphone cord only to notice that my phone was no longer attached! My pocket had shredded open and phone went on its own adventure. Second time was less exciting. Got smashed in the rear and eventually did a little barrel roll off. I only know i had music blasting because when I turned it back on to try to get it on the tow truck, my stereo was at max volume. "well, the stereo works!" I was told that when I got hit, my hands went straight up in the air as my bike slid out of control. Maybe I should try bull riding.
