is ear piece allow during riding ?

[-SILLYBOY]

just wondering if using ear piece to listen to music is legal when riding on road

[lwfc]

last time the bbdc instructor told us before that listening to music (using earpiece) is an offence. but if u only use 1 side then its not an offence. becos by listening to music u will get distracted and its dangerous. even 1 hand riding is oso an offence -_- LOL.

 

quote from my friend.

[WawanAprilia]

Just imagine u listening to music and ure singing with that expression ... saw it before .. He was singing the top of his lungs ... haha

quote from my friend.

 

but when i took my 2a and when for the theory lesson... the instructor say listen ok, but both hand must be on handle bar (i.e. cannot ride 1 hand and try to change track or etc).

 

but if get into an accident, it might be made an offence. something to do with distraction or something along the line..

[vTech]

plug it to your phone and listen mp3 from your phone,if get caught say you use it for handsfree....hehe...

There is no legislation in Singapore expressly prohibiting the use of earphones while riding a motorcycle.

 

I would be very interested to know under which Act or legislation your friend was fined under.

When i gotten into an accident self skidded, i was listening to music when a patrol car stopped by help. The officer told me that i'm not supposed to listen music when riding. The lucky thing is, he nv fined or charged me but let me go.. lucky.. Another lucky thing is that my fren's father drove past with my fren and send me to clinic.. Imagine i go to clinic in the patrol car.. I wonder how many points they will give me.

yup this was what ive heard from a BBDC instructor too

[Simmz]

So what about intercom devices? the one whereby rider gets to interact with it's pillion using some like the walkie talkie.. most tourer use this..

[Fad]

There's no law prohibiting this. Don't know why some think it's a distraction. If that is the case then might as well ban talking to pillion, or ban cars from their audio system etc. For myself, blocking the wind noise helps me concentrate even more on the road.

[crazydj]

One hand hold handlebar illegal? Wah! First time i hear. If one hand hold handlebar, the other hand reliek on tank legal? I didn't know riding with one hand illegal.

[pichudot]

yes, it's illegal and can be fine if you're caught, if i'm not wrong. : )

I've asked TP before, they cant bk you for having a earpiece or earphones in your ear while riding. But they could park it under other offences like MAYB careless riding etc...

 

It depends on hw u tok to the TP. There r 1001 reasons to bk u...u giv them 1002 reason to rebuke them...haha...

 

Anyway I gt stop because I didnt turn on my headlight...then he saw my earpiece. Reason with him..he let me go...then i ask him whether issit allowed to use earpiece...he only says there isnt any writings saying riders cant...so...its up to u..

[blackness]

that time i had my earpiece in my ear when i rode out of a petrol station and saw 3 tps at the road side just next to me. i looked at 1 of them right in his eye, and he looked back at me with a "wtf" look.

i was damn scared he will take down my plate number, but few weeks liao still nothing, so im safe. lol

so means what the instructor taught me is still relevant.

When riding, you should really be concentrating on the road.. That includes both, eyes and ears.

Ever jumped up when your phone rang unexpectedly? Now imagine that when you are on the road, in heavy traffic..

As far as I know, there are no legal regulations on how to hold the handlebars, but the common sense.

You need both hands to control your bike, but it is still OK to make adjustments to, let's say, your visor or a jacket when riding and when it is safe to do so.

 

Ride safe.
