is it legal to ride and listen to music with earphones?

is it legal to ride and listen to music with earphones?

Probably depends in what country / state your riding in. Most of the U.S. states prohibit the operation of a motor vehicle of any kind with earphones / earplugs in use.

Riding with earplugs is just like having your music turned up really high in your car, don't see why would it be illegal to do, I don't listen to music when on the bike coz I just love the sound of my bike too much. :D

Loud music / noise distracts and covers other, more important traffic sounds (sirens, horns, etc.). Statistics show that people who have the radio cranked up or wear earphones are far more likely to get involved in an accident.

I'd say that's reckless, but you couldn't hear me anyway. :unsure: As a bagpiper I can tell you with experience, too many decibels will wreck your hearing.

Yep. After cooking off 200-300 rounds from the AK-47 I can't hear jack.

Well the driving standards agency mention considering the wearing of ear plugs to prevent hearing loss and fatigue on long journeys.

That said, why not give the brain something to listen to & break up the droneing.

I believe it is illegal to wear either whilst driving a car.

Cheers 'n' ride safe
