Listen to headphones while cycling at your own peril.
Cyclists have been warned not to wear headphones after a coroner ruled a mother caused her own death when the music she was listening to meant she failed to hear an oncoming lorry. Thirty-eight-year-old Emily Norton may have been distracted by listening to music on her iPhone while trying to avoid a collision. Norton, who was not wearing a helmet, missed the lorry but fell on the verge and died on the spot. The incident happened in Howden, East Yorkshire.
East Riding of Yorkshire Coroner Paul Marks ruled listening to music could have been a distraction and contributed to her misjudgment.
