(WFRV) – Have you ever been driving around and seen someone with a pair of headphones in while operating a vehicle and wondered, ‘Is that legal in Wisconsin?’

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), drivers are allowed to wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle.

However, officials say that if there is reason to believe that the headphones would interfere with the safe operation of a vehicle, a person could be charged with inattentive driving.

In Wisconsin, inattentive driving may result in a fine anywhere between $20-400.

A person may face additional penalties or even criminal charges if inattentive driving results in an accident that causes injury or death.
