Funny how some can't hear sirens or see blue lights in mirrors

In the 90ties when i had far too much audio equipment in my car, i couldn't even hear a fire engine right next to me, and so i was almost in a accident 2 times due to that.
So i learned when the volume was up, you better damn well be extra vigilant with your mirrors and eyes, and i think that have stuck to me ever since, cuz when i was licensed for the big rigs, the teacher / driving instructor did not have to tell me to use the trucks mirrors more often.

I passed a driver the other day with a full blown set of earphones on, probably plugged into his radio or some other sound device, and more than likely cranked up to block the traffic noise.

Bonkers some drivers are. Most likely sh*t music as well...

And if I can remember correctly, someone posted in this forum, a few years back, not all states in the US have laws on this matter. Good thing I just looked it up for Ontario as it appears it recently became law here. Can't have both ears covered even with a dead device.
