    I don’t care about the earphones. May as well say the deaf can’t drive.

      Yea, earphones aren’t going to make a difference, or maybe you shouldn’t drive with a radio on? Or that the sound deadening in the car doesn’t already block most of the sound outside the car.

          Here’s the problem: if we gave a shit about safety, we’d get pretty close to banning cars.

          This is like complaining that the internal walls of the titanic should have been a few centimeters higher.
