WTF? I was driving and I saw this minivan ahead of me watching Mascadar.
How can that NOT distract the driver?
How stupid is that?
yeah for real eh. I thought those things were only supposed to be in back seats, or operate when the vehicle was in park.

so you mean people are wearing headphones while driving?
That would explain a lot, cause that's just stupid.

Anybody who is driving a car and has headphones on should be sterilized

Any "child" would know what natural selection is "FUNKYBREWSTER"
Natural selection occurs when a group of mammals/ plants develop traits that allow them to survive physically as well as socially in an ever developing and changing environment.
Don't ever call me a child.

I didn't think CAA's suggestion was a big deal. I grew up in Montreal, and headphones on car drivers and bike riders have been illegal since the Sony Walkman came out in the early 80s.

well I don't know about you but I totally disconnect from outside world when I'm listening to my music and especially in headphones
but we would need drivers, especially newbies, to be fully alert on roads

Won't blasting the stereo achieve the same effect?
