CB'S to be banned in Ontario,Canada.

Where's the link that backs up this ban "in the next couple of years"?

 

Tired trucker slams into a minivan killing a family of 6, while talking on his CB radio.

I just made that up.

Only to show reasonable thinkers an unlikely headline, of which CB banners wish were true.

 

Umm, limiter in Quebec and Ontario are 105 (65mph), not 62, or 55.

Most Western Provinces the legal speed limit is 110 on the major highways.

 

"According to the Ontario Trucking Association, the government plans
to phase out CBs and similar UHF/VHF radios over the next three years"

Thats all I found

 

"At Pine Bluff, Arkansas, on Saturday afternoon, a Mississippi tractor trailer driver crossed the highway center line and killed a mother and four children. Those killed were LaKetria Wells, 26, of Monticello, a prison guard at the state Cummins Unit, and her children, LaKiyah Wells, 7; Kaleb Jarrell Stokes, 5; Keyshon Wells, 4; and LaKayla Wells, 2."


Again This is the only thing I found

 

Link?

At least copy and paste the website address if u don't know how to link it.

 

I stand corrected ..I cant believe I was lied to LOL. Thanks all.

HAS COMMON SENSE PREVAILED?: It appears the Ontario Ministry of Transportation is reconsidering a ban on CB radios, which was slated to kick in within three years. CB radios, arguably one of the most commonly-used safety tools found in a truck cab, were initially included in the province's ban on handheld communications devices. The province said it'd allow a three-year grace period to allow hands-free alternatives to be developed.
Now, according to the Ontario Trucking Association, the MTO admits it has erred. Well, it's far from an admission, but at least the MTO has said it will "review the appropriateness of the exemption in consultation with the industry." Consultation is good. Let's hope they're not too proud to backtrack on this one. Everyone has a story about how the CB radio helped avert a disaster.
