    I was just wondering if it is illegal to wear earbuds while you are driving truck...i did this the other night and I thought it was actually quieter than having my radio blaring over the engine. I only had one bud in but didn't want to get busted for this. Any advice?

    I see a lot of driver's wearing them,not real sure of legal or not but i would have to say unsafe,you cant hear any outside noise like a blow out or anything else go could be wrong.sirens,horns,ect. so from a safety stand point they are a bad idea.

    Denver, CO has a local ordinance banning headphones while driving... not that the kids pay any attention to it!

    If you get caught most everything is against the law, all depends on where you are.
