You had your radio on full blast - I could hear the music from here!

That's why you should never listen to music when you're crossing the road.

Besides, constantly playing loud music damages your hearing.

I better turn it down then. I don't want to go deaf!

Slang

Close shave - If you've had a close shave, you nearly have a serious accident or get into trouble.

Full blast - at full volume; at the loudest
