Just got a CB after not having one for years.

Well actually, I'm slip seating now with another driver and it's his but, a few observations:

There are only 5 people with CBs out there.

1.) Someone asking for a radio check every 5 minutes.
2.) Some guy in Arizona with a radio powerful enough to reach the moon trying to talk to a guy in New Hampshire with a similar set up.
3.) "I ain't got no panties on"
4.) Somebody talking non-stop about how how powerful his radio is,,, thankfully you can drive out of his range in about 5 miles.
5.) The guy who curses out everything on the road.

(This thread might belong in humor)

 

I honestly don't see them as much as I did when I was a kid. Used to be there were 'spots' where troopers would hide, and you know what to look for. (A pullout with poor visibility and little chance for oncoming traffic to flash you a warning, like a big bushy median).

I have a friend who works for 'the other side' and he says the stupidity of paperwork and the non-stop grind of domestic dispute cases (including court time) just bogs down his department. Now he works for a small town in south GA and they won't work the interstates but if that's typical, it's why you very rarely see a city-kitty working late night speed enforcement. They'd rather do it in broad daylight in a school zone so the taxpayers are aware "something is being done!"
