sound is necessary for driving; it isnt, and deaf drivers with and without a "lifetime of experience" being deaf yet being allowed to drive regardless is the obvious contradiction.
that listening to music or an audiobook or the news is an insurmountable distraction to driving; it isnt, and the fact that youre allowed to listen to music and news etc is the obvious contradiction. maybe its different wherever you live, but here youre expected to be able to cope with distractions while driving.

furthermore, not one single person in this entire thread has actually explained why or how it is dangerous to wear headphones while driving, but instead everyone just repeats it as recieved wisdom and implicitly either demands my compliance, or vaguely threatens me about a law that doesnt exist here, while simultaneously refusing to address either of those obvious contradictions and accusing me of being 'ludicrous'.

put all that together, plus my lived experience actually, yknow, doing the shit without the sky falling on my head, and i dont see a single reason to believe that headphones are any more dangerous while driving than being deaf, which is considered a tolerable risk (and, incidental to my argument, i can still hear eg. horns and screeching tires etc., not that any of you give a fuck about my lived experience.)

does that answer your obviously-bad-faith question?
