Do you listen to music while driving? This simple detail can cost fines of up to 1,250 euros

Many drivers listen to music while driving, but Portuguese law prohibits the use of headphones or earbuds in both ears while the vehicle is in motion, under article 84 of the Road Traffic Code. This prohibition covers any equipment likely to impair driving, without distinguishing between wired or wireless models. The exceptions include only one earbud or devices with a hands-free system, provided they do not require continued handling. Those who break the law risk a fine between 250 and 1,250 euros, the loss of three points on their driving license, and an additional penalty of driving prohibition between one month and one year.
