Denise,
AAAAGGGGHHHHH! Pushing things in your ears is definitely not the
way to go. I have had a few occasions when pedestrians have walked
in front of me with ear-plugs and totally unaware of other noises. I
have also has ear-plugged people nearly hitting me in car parks
because - again - they cannot hear. You have to be able to hear
horns, ambulances, fire trucks, other cars (some with quiet
motors). I know you say you pull over but ear plugs do a damn good
job of blocking out other sounds. Please, please do not block your
ears. By the way, ear plugs are illegal in some parts of the world
- Ohio being one (that is in the USA I believe)!
But have a great week-end - I am !!
