Is Wearing Headphones While Driving Considered a Traffic Violation?

[AsherAnn]

Wearing headphones while driving is not considered a traffic violation. The hazards of making phone calls while driving are as follows: It distracts the driver's attention: Driving requires the driver's full attention. Using a mobile phone distracts the driver's attention, and holding the steering wheel with one hand can easily lead to traffic accidents. It diverts the driver's line of sight: Whether using a handheld or hands-free mobile phone while driving, it reduces the number of times the driver shifts their line of sight and prolongs the time of each shift. This makes it difficult for the driver to promptly notice changes in road conditions, increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents when unexpected situations arise.
