I can't stand seeing everyone with their earbuds while grocery shopping. We've gotten so connected that we're now disconnected from our neighbor.

This isn't rocket science and we don't need to regulate it.


Not this lib. All for Darwin on this one.

Unfortunately, this is the direction we are rapidly heading.

I think the people who are too busy staring at their phones while they walk into traffic are worse... once a girl on a bike swerved in front of us... because she was TEXTING. WHILE RIDING HER BIKE.

When the class-action lawsuits come in for hearing damage, etc. then they will have this. Headphones have been ubiquitous for the under 30 crowd for about the last 10 years, so hearing loss should be afflicting them in masses in about another 10.

They just need to be banned, period! SO sick of idiots walking / driving while completely tuned-out (and probably "turned on" thanks to our lame pot laws).

Let's worry about the laws we already have-- I nearly get run down on a weekly basis when I have the light. Not defending the ped here, but IME drivers are at fault at least as often, if not more.

Why is the answer legislation?

Because if you strike a pedestrian, it sucks for you.


If someone is wearing earbuds and crosses against the light, stepping in front of your car, I do believe the law plants firmly on your side
