Many years ago my station of choice when driving to work started running an advert for car safety. The sound effect was a loud blaring car horn and the sounds of screaming tires and a crash. The first, second, third time I heard it was instant jolt of panic and left me jittery. I switched stations after the third time.

    Made a greentext out of your story (I took some creative liberties):

    be me, driving to work still tired and half asleep

    turn on radio loudly to wake me up a bit

    suddenly hear the most horrific accident happening

    take a second to compose myself

    it was the fucking radio station

    fully awake now

    And this is part of why I don't listen to the radio while I drive. The other part is because I bought a cheap android stereo and I couldn't be fucked to buy the adapter to hook my antenna up to the stereo.
    I guess being lazy is saving me from early morning drive radio jump-scares.

    Also radio is trash. My phone has like 13 hours of music on it and then YouTube music is practically endless, all I need is an FM transmitter or a tape deck because my car is from 2001.

    HA! MAY CAR IS WAAAAAAAY NEWER THAN YOURS!

    ......2006.

    When I bought it, it had an even cheaper android stereo in it. When I was looking for a interim replacement before I spent over £100, I found the one that was installed when I bought it.....for £12.
    Ended up with an ~£80 deck that came with a half decent reverse camera, which was almost the only requirement for me other than Bluetooth.
    I honestly kinda wish it had come with a tape deck, being on the edge of old I still have a bunch of tapes. Used to have a load of CDRs, but rot got them. 🤷
    I have about 60Gb of music on my phone, I'll occasionally switch some of it out for new stuff. I had Google Play Music back in what is now considered "The Day" and now I pretty much refuse to use any streaming service.

    My car is from 2004, doing a radio upgrade was actually really easy and by far the best thing i did. It cost like $50 and gave me android auto, bluetooth, aux, usb and some other things i dont use. It was basically plug and play.
