Man who doesn't drive a car or use an MP3 Player wants the combination banned
chief executive of the Pedestrian Council, Harold Scruby, wants to see the devices banned for drivers and the manufacturers to place warnings on their packaging.

He says the "block-out effect" of headphones compounds the risk posed by listening to music in cars.

"If you take out the audial sense, you remove one of the most important aspects of road safety," Mr Scruby said. "You wouldn't hear an ambulance or police car, let alone someone tooting you."
