Credit for this excellent idea goes to Michael Celly, a Weblogs, Inc. programmer who told us that back in 1999 he and his friend Jon Stone produced a mix CD called Songs to listen to... IF YOU WANT A SPEEDING TICKET, Vol. 2. We're not sure what happened to Vol. 1, but Vol. 2 is venerable cornucopia of late Nineties rock (see track list after jump) that would make any right foot feel heavy. The Autoblog staff was suddenly bit by the music bug, so after the jump you'll find our collection of Songs to listen to... IF YOU WANT A SPEEDING TICKET, Vols. 3 – 8. Each list is our own personal mix tape of tunes, any song of which raises our chances of being handed a speeding ticket by a factor of 10.Compiling these lists has been enlightening, as each volume says a lot about its author (four Def Leppard picks, Joel? Really?). Because I had never heard of 90 percent of the tracks my fellow bloggers chose, we decided to add sample links for nearly every one so you can click and hear for yourself what gets our motors running. We hope you submit your own Volume of Songs to listen to... IF YOU WANT A SPEEDING TICKET in the comments. Enjoy...

Metallica - Fuel or Master of Puppets
Also, anything Slayer.
Chad Gallion @ Aug 16th 2006 8:49PM
1. I think Slayer is more like you want to crash your car and run over people.
Trevor @ Aug 16th 2006 8:52PM
Personally, "Bad Habit" by The Offspring should be top 3, not #8. That song just screams pedal to the metal and road rage...
Road Rage @ Aug 16th 2006 8:59PM
What about Sammy Haggar, I Can't Drive 55? Ozzy Osbourne, Flying High Again? They must be on Vol. 1.
Speeding Ticket Lawyer Warren Redlich @ Aug 16th 2006 9:10PM
I agree with Road Rage on Sammy Haggar. I'd like to see some AC/DC on the list too, such as Shakin', Highway to Hell (obvious), and Back in Black. Those are good tunes for speeding. Also, you might want to have "Bad Boys" playing on your stereo when the officer comes to your window ... maybe not.

Easy - Blur Song 2. If one has ever seen the BMW Film Star then they know that Song 2 is THE fast driving song. Especially for Bimmer owners.
o_fizzle @ Aug 16th 2006 10:03PM
Definitely "Song 2" by Blur. This song kicks ass in the BMW M5 video in the BMW's "The Hire" film series. Every time I hear it, I can't help thinking about Clive Owen tearing up an M5 with Madonna being tossed around like a ragdoll in the back seat. Good stuff.
o_fizzle @ Aug 16th 2006 10:04PM
Damn you! Beat me to it. Great minds think alike.
Jeff @ Aug 16th 2006 10:10PM
Red Morning Light by Kings of Leon. Actually the whole album Youth and Young Manhood is written for driving flat out
bgdc @ Aug 16th 2006 10:10PM
o_fizzle,
Guy Ritchie hasn't done much but he did immortalize that song for BMW owners.
jmr30080 @ Aug 16th 2006 10:14PM
There have been some really good ones overlooked-
All Fired Up- Pat Benatar
Welcome To The Jungle- Guns 'N Roses
The Remedy- Seether
Wild Child- Heart
Basket Case- Green Day
Steve McQueen- Sheryl Crow
I Hope You Die- Bloodhound Gang
I Hate Myself For Loving You- Joan Jett
Invicible- Pat Benatar
When God Fearin' Women Get The Blues- Martina McBride
At least those are a few of the ones that I notice I'm listening to when I'm going 90 in the fast lane.
JayP @ Aug 16th 2006 10:15PM
Ace of Spades (naturally)
Highway Star- Deep Purple
TransAm - Hagar
