Hopefully not while driving though :)

Why not? Attenuating all sound doesn't have a huge impact on what you're able to hear.

Indeed; to the contrary, I find myself hyper-aware of sounds when wearing attenuative hearing protection.

It's illegal, at least in California.

"A person operating a motor vehicle or bicycle may not wear a headset covering, or earplugs in, both ears."

Deaf people would disagree

Deaf people may be able to drive, but wearing earplugs while driving is still illegal (in California, anyway).
