Explanation
Wearing headphones in both ears while driving is against the law, as it can significantly diminish a driver's awareness of their surroundings and increase the risk of accidents. The use of dual headphones prevents drivers from hearing important auditory cues, such as horns, sirens, or screeching tires, which could warn them of potential dangers on the road.
