Are drivers allowed to wear headsets while driving?

Drivers are not permitted to wear headsets while driving because doing so can significantly impair their ability to hear important sounds from the environment, such as sirens, horns, or other vehicles approaching. The law is designed to ensure that drivers remain alert and fully aware of their surroundings, which is crucial for safe driving. Wearing headsets can create a false sense of security, leading to distractions and increasing the risk of accidents. This measure is in place to promote overall road safety for both the driver and other road users.
