I am now seeing more and more young people driving their cars with their iPod ear buds in their ears (illegal in my State of MA, as wearing any kind of headphones is banned while driving).

I have friends on the Boston Fire Department, who while on a call, have come up behind a double parked car, blocking their way. The driver, with the windows rolled up, and listening to his iPod, could apparently not hear the Siren on the Ladder Truck OR the incredibly loud alarm horn that the trucks often use at intersections....so, in order to save time, as seconds count in answering a call, they pull up behind the car and with the big rubber covered bumper of the Ladder Truck, they push the car out of the way. One of my firefighter friends said they have done this a number of times, and that as they pass the car, the driver appears to be quite upset.
