If its against the law ( many places) to drive down the road with a cell phone to your head....why is it "supposed to be" OK to do the same with a CB ?
CB's were exempted from many cell phone laws thanks to the trucker lobby.
More than that, CBs have a legitimate use on the road, often communicating about disabled vehicles or other localized potential hazards. Cell phones do not have this function. Yes, they can call the police for an emergency, but that is specifically exempted from any cell phone laws. (at least in IL).
