    CB radios were a little different than cellular phones. One you didnt have to hold a tiny little piece of shit to your ears, you could hear a loud CB over a gunning engine any day.. Some CB pa speakers in rigs were louder than the stock am/fm.. you could also key a quality mic from your lap and talk clear. Imo its was much easier to get directions with a CB in a populous area, possibly more range with a CB than some phones in the past. While cell phones have come a long way. I dont believe calling home talking to your wife, jacking off thru your boxers on a cell phone is a good idea anyway while driving. But this activity was present with the CB radio too, just wife wasnt the person they was jacking off too. Just happened to be any foxy;lady on the air that wasnt getting splashed by other users..

    tbh I cant stand a mofo that drives while watching a GPS monitor on the dash.... Watch the fucking road !

    You guys need to stop double-teaming this ex truck driver. What he did was the safest he could possibly do while keeping most of his attention on the road. The most I see dangerous is when a truck driver is driving and texting, however, using a cellphone to talk should be perfectly okay, especially when driving a truck. I drive, and on a 24hr roadtrip from Memphis to New York, I drove 6 hours straight, and what kept me awake was talking/ socializing. Seriously, and the government is currently focusing on just truck drivers when they need to crack down on ANYONE behind the wheel.

    Yes everyone should be banned from talking on cell phones when driving, but truck driving can be more easily regulated by the federal government since more aspects fall under the interstate commerce clause. A lot of states do already have laws for driving on a cell phone.

    they should ban smoking from cars in motion too.. Id like everyone to know there is a law "you cant smoke it cars" then I wouldnt have to be the asshole "put that out you cant smoke in my car!!" and they give me an attitude too... If I own the car and dont smoke in it, what give you the right to enter my car with a lit cigarette like you dont even know youre doing it?,.,

    I dont talk on cell phone while driving not only cause im carrying cannabis. but nothing is that important I need to have a phone in a car. I was driving cars before the invention of the everyday cellular phone and nobody died or went without milk and bread at home. geez...

    I've been a smoker since I was like 15 or something... and I have never assumed it was okay to smoke in someone else's car, even if they were already smoking.

    It takes 2 seconds to ask... Mind if I smoke?

    As for the people who get upset about being told no? Kick them the fuck out of your car... and laugh as you drive away.

    LOL

    The rest is true too, just not as funny :)
