Is a motorcycle rider permitted to listen to music while riding on public roads?
A)Yes, but only if using standard wireless in-ear headphones connected to a smartphone.
B)Yes, as long as the sound is played through integrated speakers or approved helmet intercoms, without using headphones or earphones.Correct
C)No, listening to any audio or music while riding a motorcycle is strictly prohibited under all circumstances.
Under Spanish traffic laws, using headphones, earphones, or any device that inserts directly into or covers your ears while riding is completely illegal and carries a heavy fine (€200 and 3 points). However, listening to music or audio is perfectly legal if you use approved, certified helmet-mounted intercoms or external motorcycle speakers. These devices are allowed because they leave the ear canal free, ensuring you can still hear ambient traffic sounds, sirens, and horns.
