The study, conducted at London Metropolitan University, also revealed the type of songs that cause motorists to drive dangerously.

Unsurprisingly, music that is noisy, upbeat and increases a driver's heart rate can be a deadly mix.

Fast beats cause excitement that can lead people to concentrate more on the music than on the road and to speed up to match the beat of the song.

Genres of music were also measured during the experiment and revealed variations between male and female drivers.

Hip-hop made a female driver drive far more aggressively, breaking harder and accelerating faster, than her male counterpart. The heavy metal playlist caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance playlist had the same effect among women.

The male and female drivers who listened to the classical playlist drove the most erratically.

The experiment involved eight people driving 500 miles each using the confused.com MotorMate app, which monitored driving behaviour through GPS technology.

The top 10 safest songs to drive to are:

1. Come Away With Me – Norah Jones

2. Billionaire Feat. Bruno Mars – Travie McCoy

3. I’m Yours – Jason Mraz

4. The Scientist – Coldplay

5. Tiny Dancer – Elton John

6. Cry Me a River – Justin Timberlake

7. I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing – Aerosmith
