The earphones aren’t a problem per se, if you listen with approrpriate sound where you can still hear an ambulance coming or a car horn. I don’t think this person is doing that, but lets guve them the benefit of the doubt. But the mirrors folded is next level stupudity. There is no doubt that this person should be driving at all.
So those mirrors would have been literally smacking into throngs of pedestrians on all sides if they weren’t folded.
Well no. Even here in India we tend not to drive straight into throngs of pedestrians, nor do said pedestrians throng in the middle of the road. It’s just flat out irresponsible to drive with folded mirrors – even more than you’d think considering how horribly people drive/ride motorbikes here

It’s illegal. And we need more people getting caught and held accountable.

Aside from like an F1 race, I don’t know of a single place where it’s legal to wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle.
Its dangerous not to wear hearing protection on motorcycles over like 60mph for long rides and much shorter rides if you go slower.
The folded mirrors is probably to avoid clipping stuff in tight city streets. They’re probably driving slower than walking.
This is a poor person driving. I don’t see the big deal.
I see worse luxury car drivers every day.
I don’t quite see how a persons bank account is relevant?
Wealth and entitlement isn’t relevant you say?
Yes in a community about the problems cars pose, in a post about a bad driver.
In a community about the problems that cars pose, you don’t think class has any factor in this or are you just performatively against cars?

In a community about the problems that cars pose, we don’t give people a pass for being careless simply based on how shitty their car may be.
(Also this photo was taken in India. That woman is richer than 80% of the population based solely on the fact that she owns a car)
That is important context.
More like 92%.
