I have an array of playlists (well.. CDs; I'm not yet advanced enough for playlists) for varying conditions. Gershwin/Sinatra or jazz for evening drives through cultural centers; electronica & techno for lonely nighttime driving; southern rock for daytime drives in the country; trip-hop and soft electronica for rain; and punk rock / celt rock when it's an amazing day that requires a dose of energy.

Personally, I find that mind gets "in the zone" when listening to classical; and I drive much more quickly as aggressively as a result. Then again, having played cello for for 13 years my mind might be a bit different... "Firebird Suite", "New World Symphony", and anything by Gershwin are sure to get my speedometer up.

This needs more study posthaste! Not a fan of linking classical music to punishment, but I like the theory of automatically playing music to modify driving behavior. This needs more study posthaste!
