I turn it down when backin up too just to hear for scrapes.
But i also turn down/ off the music when I am almost out of gas???

 

If I have to start on a steep hill I'll turn the music down. Can't recall if I do that when backing up though.

In general if I have to concentrate more I'll turn it down a little bit.

 

back up?? what's that? i only drive forward!!!!

 

i gotta admit i do the same when i park maybe because NYC only have tight spaces and people crossing in front of you while you parking

 

to help concentrate?
i do it too.

 

shut up, I cant see!

 

i got 5% tint, i turn my music down so i can hear someone screaming that i am running them over

 

I turn my music down before I turn off my car, so I don't exactly turn it down before backing up, but it's already down. I basically do the same thing, just do it a step before. It's also nicer so I can hear the purr of the exhaust when I turn the car on, and I don't get blasted by music.

 

am i the only one who has to turn down the music when im in an area im not fimiliar with haha i feel like i focus better in figuring out where i need to be.

 

same here...

 

haha i feel so much better after this thread knowing that I'm not abnormal I just can not park with radio on, and everytime I re-park my roomate's car the first thing I do is turn off the radio.

 

lol i do the same....i also turn it down when i see little kids and im listening to a song i know has bad words lol.

 

I hate backing up period and I avoid it at all costs. I dunno... THere's just something about backing up that makes me very uneasy.. Perhaps because I can't see anything until I'm practically out of the spot.

 

same here lol she yells at me every time..

 

its a normal thing for me, id rather hear something I hit or someone honk before i hit them, or someone yell before i run them over.
