Listening to music while riding a m.cycle

Shouldn't riders be fined for this ?
What do you think and why ?

Frankly speaking, unless you're using noise cancelling headphones and listening to music at loud enough volume to drown out traffic noise completely, I don't see how it is any different from listening to music while driving.

According to our Motor Vehicles Act it is illegal to listen to music while driving! Can't believe it? Do a Google!

Shouldn't riders Face the Music ??
Music is a big distraction

According to Statistics, Maximum Casualty is in 2-Wheeler Riders accidents.

I never listen to music while riding. I want to be fully aware of surrounding sounds while riding. I believe listening music takes away some attention of rider. Which is not good for him and other people on road.
And I do not promote people listening to music while driving.
So yes I think riders should be fined.

I listen to music while riding only when I'm not on the road. It is a great pleasure to ride somewhere in the foresrt and listening to favorite songs.

Same here, always traveling with the music. Of course we shouldn't forget about the safety on the road and don't listen it very loud, in order to hear everything around. Another reason for that - we need to take care of our ears now, when we are young, otherwise in couple of years we will be checking hearing aids for sale online and not hearing when wife calls us to have a dinner.

I sometimes listen on BT but only on mornning rides with empty roads. I dont think it is safe.

Motorcycling can be a thrilling and immersive activity, and music can further amplify that sensation. By playing music that resonates with your personal taste, we can create a soundtrack that complements the exhilaration of the ride. It can help create a sense of rhythm and flow, making the journey more immersive and engaging.

I think as long as the rider can hear everything that's going on around them, there is no point in fining the rider for that. But riding definitely would be safer without listening to music. The rider should be fully focused on the road, so I think they shouldn't listen to music on busy roads.
