listening to music an offence?

[Duke_Monster]

while riding...sometimes it gets pretty sian ...so i would like to know if listening to music while riding an offence? more accurately riding with earphones...riding with music on is prob not an offence or else goldwings won't have stereos liao.haha...

 

anione noes?i emailed lta for verification...but they're not replying juz yet...thought some of u guys might noe.

[d0n]

er

juz wondering.....

traffic offences supposed to come more under TP than LTA right?

[ZLord]

i doubt its an offence, anyway even if really and offence, tp also hard to catch

[Duke_Monster]

yea lor i realised tht after posting...tried to find tp's email add from police website...dun hav...muz call..tom i call n see..haha...

[jocoolseah]

hi,

any reply frm TP on this? cos i usually ride with my HP earphone and listen to radio ah....so is it an offence ah? cos if so then i better stop...

[imported_Hed3sSbk3r]

hehe...if it's not an offence...i go buy headphone and blast liao~ hehehe

[ZLord]

wouldnt it be distracting? i wanted to do this but afraid might be distracted as i feel ride bike need to give 100% concentration...safety most important

safety & alertness is important while riding!!!

i usually listen to music while riding but when i knew rd block ahead, i will juz plug away the wire. if they wan catch me for wearing earpiece, i will juz tell them.."y drivers can use, riders cant? its onli wearing earpiece, nt talking on phone mah..."

 

if calls really come in, then stop rd side ans call lor...

it is not an offence...but its good to know the presence of any vehicles in your blindspot by hearing also.

weigh yar pros n cons...rather then trying to find out if its an offense....

even if u are like listening to some music n shaking yar head or body to the music then only TP will come n stop u la...if not they won't even know tht u are listening to music....

 

how ever think abt it u blast ...car or something horn to avoid an accident n can't even hear tht horn...wats more costly?

 

like someone mentioned tht something u can know tht there is a vehicle in yar blind spot by hearing the sound...but if u blast u can't hear n its very important for u to beware of yar surrounding while riding its not jus abt looking infront.

what i do is i'll put on only one side and put it at as soft as possible... it does give longs trips abit of entertainment... you'll have to be vigilant as well and not get carried away by the music...

blasting and listening to normal volume can make a lot of difference leh

u most probably wont be able to hear horn frm other vehicles if u blast

yeah~ me too

wonder how's progress w/ espido1001's phonecall to TP to enquire

[nash_1126]

i listen to music too... and sumtimes... wen im not plugged into music, i wear my bluetooth headset.

 

Actually, listening to music keeps me awake than not listening to it. Fell asleep while riding back from JB once. The funny thing was... i (or rather, my bike) negotiate a long turn wif my eyes closed. since then.. i plugged in the music. heh.

[ah_tee]

the man in white told me himself that there is not official rule stating against it

[HelmetBOX1605198525]

iya....

if even if listening to music is legal...

they still can say that you careless driving...

because you listen to music and did not see the road..

[Duke_Monster]

confirmed...called traffic police dept. liao...listening to earphones while riding a bike is LEGAL...as long as u have both hands on yr bar...as in cannot adjust music or stuff while riding but at traffic light of coz can...

 

so gd news....but bad news...unless u ride a quiet bike it's very hard to listen to the music...haha...but can la...better than nothing.

 

of coz guys...plz concentrate on the road...safe riding

[Duke_Monster]

and i din asked abt earpieces(hp)...but i think it's legal as well...like for cars...u can talk on yr phone as long as u use earpiece(friend told me,dun take his word for granted)

 

for the music earphones...when i asked the traffic police operator...she was like "huh...u're the first to ask this kind of Q..."...then she hesitated a while b4 she asked her colleagues...and i could her all of them giggling....

[R.C]

haha... tell her say you just wanna hear her voice then making an excuse to call lor..

 

wow, yeah... now can listen to music and ride on long trips without fear of getting caught liao...

[Duke_Monster]

yea same here...haha.glad i could help..enjoy riding with music guys!
