In those days, a lot more citizens had CB radios in their private automobiles. Even today, with all the talk about banning cell phone use while driving, why no similar ban on the use of CB radios by truckers and other drivers? They are probably almost as distracting (probably a little less distracting, because the "dialing" component is eliminated). While one might argue that truckers use CB radios for their work, similar arguments could be made by virtually anyone who uses a cell phone for a work-related purpose while driving.

Although we have a hands free law here in CA, it must be difficult to enforce because we see a lot of people still holding their phones to their ears. your friends at yikes ID Good article.
