Admittedly, I'm a CB junkie from way back when but as much as people bad mouth it now and frankly, I don't do much talking any longer, just yesterday, I was stuck in traffic wondering what was going on in front of me. Turned on the CB and had the traffic info in seconds on channel 19! I can't speak for anyone but myself, but when I'm in the MH towing my car and traffic is crawling due to an accident, I like to know what's going on and I also want to know what lanes of traffic are affected ahead.
It a small cost to pay for just this one reason..IMHO.
