Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, as long as its use does not affect riding safety.

Yes. On a motorcycle or moped, you may use a certified or approved wireless device built into your helmet, as long as it is for communication or navigation and does not affect riding safety. This is an exception to the general prohibition on driving with earphones. The law does not require the volume to be controlled through the motorcycle's controls.
