An accidental is an added flat, sharp or natural to the key signature used in a piece of music. They are used when a composer slightly changes keys. Accidentals also occur when embelishing / ornamenting the melody. Basically, accidentals are for what ever notes the composer wants to use besides those in his main key - hence the key signature, which indicates which notes are always sharped or flatted, giving the composer a choice of how high or low she/he wants the song to be.

Do people get into accidents when they listen to music while driving?

Listening to music does not cause accidents, and NOT listening to music does not prevent accidents. Sometimes accidents will happen to you because of a mistake another driver makes. If you are the cause of an accident it is probably because of one of the following:You were too distracted or too fatigued to see or hear a threat and respond to it properly.You were driving too fast or violating some other safe driving rule.Something happened completely outside of your control.If you are listening to music that is too loud, or that causes you serious distraction while driving, then you are priming yourself for trouble.
