I did i tyears ago and cranked up real loud as to drown out everything. However I was told by Johnny Law one day that if I got hit, he would not hold the motorists responsible. I Va. he explained it is up to the cyclists to make themselves as visible as possible, and we were to follow the same traffic laws. I do not know the law for this in Tx. but I expect nothing less. I do know this. We as cyclists can ride with headphones, relatively safely for the ost part, and motorists cannot drive and talk on the phone.
