British drivers have chosen the iconic Queen song by Freddie Mercury as the best driving tune of all time, besting Fleetwood Mac and ABBA. Nothing beats singing along to a rock anthem while on the freeway. And currently, British drivers are voting for the greatest driving tune of all time in a new UK survey. The 1979 Queen hit Don’t Stop Me Now received an astounding 39% of the vote. The upbeat song outperformed Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way (26%), Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer (33%), ABBA’s Dancing Queen (29%), The Proclaimers’ I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) (28%), and Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer (33%). Over half of respondents to a survey by Direct Line Essentials Insurance said they have a playlist just for road journeys, with an average of 51 songs on it.
