In New South Wales, driving with headphones is a no-go. The law states that your ability to hear emergency vehicles, horns, and other critical sounds is paramount, so wearing headphones that block out ambient noise is illegal. This includes both earbuds and over-ear headphones. The fine? A not-so-nice slap on the wrist with a monetary penalty and possibly demerit points.
So, unless you want to risk becoming a statistic or a headline, keep those ears free and your music off while behind the wheel. For more detailed info, check out ServiceCentral or the official NSW road rules.
