    Why?? when you use a cellphone you barely pay attention as well as using a cb....Now with hands free you got a little more control but with a cb its like talking on a cellphone with one hand ............

    It's real simple...


    Most cars don't have a cb.

    Every idiot and their sister has a cell phone.

    Ergo more distracted driver incidents happen due to cell phone use, than cb use.

    Thus the recent spate of laws geared at banning cell phone use while driving.

    At the end of the day, distracted driving is distracted driving.

    Be it talking on a cell phone, eating, drinking, screwing around with the radio, lighting a cigarette etc...
