An expert view on cyclists with headphones
He said the inquest would hear from an expert about using personal
stereo devices while cycling. "(He) will indicate that even when used at low volume and, indeed, even when turned off, the personal stereo devices are capable of seriously interfering with a cyclist's ability to interpret the aural environment around them," he said. "It is possible for a cyclist who has no personal stereo device to locate items which are emitting noise such as a truck in terms of both their distance and direction but much more difficult when the personal stereo device is being used." |

Agreed. For me, unencumbered ears make a good substitute for a rear-vision mirror. |

Doesn't he know a better result would be to require all stereos be removed from cars and drivers must keep their window down? Car drivers, after all, cause much more damage through innattention; 22% of all crashes are cause by it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...istracted.html |

Don't you know they have a goddamn *right* to drive as fast as they like, park wherever they like, drink as much as they like, and kill as many cyclists and pedestrians as they like? :-) This is a cycling NG. Please stay on topic. |
