Peabody Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Mad Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 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.

Peabody Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a bagpiper I can tell you with experience, too many decibels will wreck your hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YamahaTubthumper Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 is it legal to ride and listen to music with earphones? 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.
