States ban headphones behind wheel
National figures show distracted driving caused about 6000 crash deaths in 2008. Lt Tim Pearson notes inattention as a leading cause and cites music via headphones as a distraction. South Carolina bans headphones behind the wheel though one earbud is allowed in some states. Public safety argue earbuds silence emergency signals and may warrant ticketing.
