It is against traffic laws to be wearing anything on your ears in many places. I got pulled over in Colorado in around 2010 for having one ear of a wired headset on. Didn’t get a ticket, but still sucked.

It’s something about being able to hear sirens and stuff around you. It’s dumb because people will blast music as loud as they want but having one ear covered gets you in trouble.

    Deaf people spend their entire live deaf and they adapt. They don't suddenly become deaf when they start driving.

    Agreed. That sounds like needless legislation. Especially considering that there have been studies that show that "loud pipes DON'T save lives." The interior of modern cars are so soundproofed that most people won't hear those really loud motorcycles until they are right next to them. Same for many sirens I would wager.

    More to do with the Doppler effect than anything dealing with sound deadening. You also don't point the pipes the direction your going .
