We're not talking about a bunch of teenagers with the bass booming. We're talking about small speakers for a golf cart. I've sat at the Morse light with carts in front and behind me with their music on. I rather enjoyed the diversity since one was playing classic rock and the other classical, so I could tilt my head one way to hear a song and then the other for the aria (long light, long wait to get through it). Once we started moving, I could hear neither of them.
Yes, there are some inconsiderate dolts but the majority are not. They play their music at a reasonable level, drive their carts are reasonable speeds, don't litter and try to be considerate of others. To regulate the many for the few is not worth the price.
And I TOTALLY agree that earphones, even in just one ear, are dangerous. California bans the use of earphones for drivers (singular and plural) in cars because of the inability to hear emergency vehicles, let alone regular traffic noises.
