I do agree that most folks that yammer on the cell can't multitask and driving seems to take a backseat to thier conversation - but something about seeing the headphones REALLY disturbs me.

I'm pretty sure driving while wearing headphones (in both ears) is illegal in all states, mostly due to the fact that you cannot hear emergencies vehicles.
