On occasion. As the radio is busted in my van; it's not often. I have
an mp3 player wired up to external speakers; but I keep the volume real
low so I can listen for engine/transmission noises.

You won't find statistics that say average drivers who do listen to
music cause nearly as many fatalities as that of a drunk or cell phone
using driver.
