As said earlier, music in a car is ambient noise, half the time you dont even hear whats on, when you are wearing head phones the sound is right in your ear. While it might not be illegal, surely it must affect safety? car horns and sirens etc cant be heard from as far away, there have been a number of posts on here about odd noises coming from peoples bikes, these also would go unheard. And if it doesnt affect peoples concentration, why turn it off when the gas gets turned up??? I personally like to hear my bike and whats going on around me, but each to their own.
