    I know this has been a subject on this forum before but if you need further proof of the necessity of having a cb radio just take time to view drone footage of multi-vehicle pileup on I-44 in Missouri, see alot of semi trucks involved, just wonder if some of them could of been alerted to impending danger.

    Qualifies as Distracted driving if driver even looks at his phone, possible $2750.00 fine and up to $10,000 fine to company and most likely termination and not a chance in #### of getting hired by a good company, so I guess I dont see how an app would be of any value.

    Apparently it does to those who choose to pontificate to those of us who run a radio about how we live in the past.

    I run at least 2 radios always, a Galaxy 95T frequently on ham bands, and a Yeasu dual bander. Sometimes if Im headed out of the LA area I'll toss in my HF rig too.

    I always have it on but I rarely talk on mine. I would just sound like baffoon so I don’t try to be cool or a radio Rambo..But the moment I see or sense something going on, my music gets shut off and the CB volume goes to max.
