Driving across the country is hard and it is easy to get tired and possibly fall asleep. Over the holidays I realized that listening to audio books while driving kept me awake significantly better than just listening to music alone. I believe it helped a great deal because the books were something of great interest and in my opinion that helped to keep my mind engaged and thereby helped me to stay awake better while driving then I feel I would have just listening to music alone. In addition listening to audio books for my ipod seemed to make the driving time go much faster. So listening to books on ipod may not have actually saved my life in a literal sense, however I think it did save me from being bored to death.

Using a speaker system is much safer while driving and listening to iPod audio books then using headphones. Plus using headphones while driving may be against the law in some locations.

Next time you are taking a long drive you may want to consider audio books for ipod while on the road.
