CB radio usage

Just wondering if people still use them? If so what channel do rver's use?

I use both a CB and a Valentine Radar. CB gives me info on road conditions and location of near by "Bears". Driving without radar is an invitation to get a ticket to the "policemen's Ball". Or you can drive like about 10% of RVers and drive the speed limit:(
The primary purpose the 55 MPH speed limit was passed was to conserve fuel not necessarliy for safety reasons. In a theoritical, ideal world where all RV drivers drove 55 MPH, this would make total sense:)

I drive 58-60mph when pulling our 5er and 56-57mph when double towing with the boat hooked up behind the 5er. Don't have to worry about cops and tickets at all. Nice leisure fuel efficient drive. We are retired and not in a hurry to get anywhere.

Still have the CB I had in my truck at work and do take it when we are on trips. I have it set up so that it comes out easily when not traveling.
