I wear PX100's connected to my iPhone all the time when I've driving. Sometimes I have music on at veru low levels, sometimes I'm just using them to listen to the occasional caller while still having both hands free. Since the PX100's are open phones, I have no trouble hearing what's going on in the real world. Wearing headphones does not make you a dangerous driver. Wearing headphones that isolate and/or listening at levels that prevent you from hearing what's going on around you does make you dangerous.
Regardless, in most places it is probably illegal to wear headphones, despite the fact it's not a law that really takes a lot of factors into account. Mainly, it's a blanket law designed to keep people from doing something stupid. It's just as illegal and dangerous to listen to your car stereo at loud levels.
I know, I know...I'm a terrible person and a terrible driver...and I haven't had an accident in 24 years.
