    Only 6 states ban headphones in both ears.

    I’ve driven hundreds of thousands of miles, and never had anyone question it. I’m not stopping now.

      Its illegal to drive with headphones in most of Europe. You can use a one-ear headpiece to make calls, but not full blown headphones.

      This, along a bunch of other rules that I’m sure you think are absolutely stupid, are probably why so many Americans die on road accidents when compared to the rest of the world.

      Sounds pretty often to me. Thanks for confirming my understanding of the laws was correct.

      I too just checked, it’s illegal in Florida, NY, and California which covers such a vast swath of the us population I don’t need to look up north Dakota to know that “often illegal” is a fair description.

      It’s not illegal in Texas (last of the big 4 states), but neither is shooting a girl scout in the face because she made you “feel unsafe”.
