Yeah I noticed the first one of these yesterday. Driving along with white ipoddish earplugs in. I wonder how common it is and why this isn't all over the news. It seems far more dangerous than riding a bike while listening to music and Lord knows that gets enough coverage.In the last few days (and I don't drive much at all) I've seen at least 4 drivers with earplugs in, either listening to music or phone and 1 with full ear-covering earphones. How can they expect to hear a cyclist's bell, a shout or even an emergency vehicle ?
Perhaps they don't want to?In the last few days (and I don't drive much at all) I've seen at least 4 drivers with earplugs in, either listening to music or phone and 1 with full ear-covering earphones. How can they expect to hear a cyclist's bell, a shout or even an emergency vehicle ?
How about using some of this? http://www.uvglowstore.com/
Headphone wearing drivers are increasingly common in these parts too. One tried to run me over on a pedestrian crossing earlier this week.In the last few days (and I don't drive much at all) I've seen at least 4 drivers with earplugs in, either listening to music or phone and 1 with full ear-covering earphones.
