[MDairheads] Hearing Protection in MD - NRR spec.??

[romefelt]

Mark,
That is the great ambiguity. You can completely block one ear, but must have the ability to hear horns and sirens, if you block both.   Sure would be easier, if a not-to-exceed NRR could be established instead.  Maybe something we should petition our legislators to enact ? 

Even though I ride with the Earpeace's with the middle level NRR, and carry a copy of their data sheet with my registration and insurance card, I still worry about how someone could "spin" this subjective requirement to my detriment:  "yes your Honor, I know that my client was speeding at twice the posted limit, ran a red light and blew a .23 on the breathalyzer, but that hooligan Romefelt was wearing illegal ear plugs"
