A very disturbing trend that I have noticed among madras two wheeler riders is the usage of the earphone while riding their two wheelers. This might be either listening to music or for speaking to someone. This act of using the earphone while riding is very dangerous inamuch that it throws one's balance away by affecting his/her concentration. One might not be able to hear the honking from vehicles from behind; in worst cases, it leads to ignoring traffic lights and causing inconvenience to other riders / drivers. Many a time, when stopping at signals, if I see someone with an earphone on on both their ears, I request them to take it off. some listen, some snarl and ride away. Riders should avoid using earphones while on their two wheelers. As is the wont with Indians, unless the police prohibit this act of wearing earphones, it is going to stay.

One more thing to notice that people wear helmet just to comply with the rules.....they never put the strap on. I don't understand why people are so careless about their own safety.
Yes it is more like compliance for compliance's sake - in letter and not in spirit
