"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

I was backing out of a parking lot stall once and as I was halfway out I saw some idiot in the stall directly behind me start backing out without looking. I laid into the horn but this rear end in a top hat idiot had giant Beats by DRE covering 99% of his head like some kind of retard helmet and plowed right into my bumper because not only was he wearing over-ear headphones while driving, he also was not looking where he was going.

Deaf people can drive op and studies have shown they aren't any better or worse than other people at it.

For what its worth I only use both earbuds if im cruising for hours on freeways, if im in cross traffic I'll just use radio or, one earbud on the offchance a horn would stop an accident, has not happened yet but eh you never know.

It's not smart and I don't get how apparently many people don't have music in their cars.

I've often thought the same thing. I think they should be ticketed and if they cause a wreck or slow down an ambulance, they should be executed on the spot.

It's probably not any less distracting to have your speakers turned all the way up, hth

they're worse, having a physical object blocking sound from entering your ears in addition to the sound makes them a greater issue than turning up the stereo

The increased sound deadening and high quality OEM speakers of modern cars make it hard to hear anything including sirens.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

It's literally inhibiting to safety as you might not hear someone honking or a police siren/fire truck/ambulance with earphones in. Car with an aux jack (now present in a lot of ten year old cars) or Bluetooth if you're Mr. Moneybags destroys earphones in every situation for car usage.

counterintuitively, bluetooth is generally only still an option on luxury cars; most economy brands/models have it standard nowadays
