Edit: Thanks everyone. I’ve heard your comments loud and clear. I will not wear headphones while driving.

I remember back when I was taking driving lessons to get my learner's permit, they specifically said never to war headphones while driving. I don't know if it's illegal or just discouraged, but the intent is that it removes one of your senses from being able to help you react while driving. So it puts you and everyone around you on the road at risk.
