Like it or not, agree with me or not, the CB is just as valuable a tool as a map, flashlight, tire gauge, etc, and I won't truck without one, save the occasional day when I'm in a loaner truck due to getting routine maintenance done on mine. What cracks me up, and often times is more irritating than the baba booey crowd, is when you're sitting in a traffic jam and some or a few tell you what lane is closed, and yet you get 15 guys coming in asking "what lane's open?" or "what's going on?". If you had the radio on, you'd already know. Worst part, and what bothers me THE MOST, is that hardly anyone on the opposing side will bother to grab the mic and let you know what's coming up ahead. Too many times, I've crested a hill, or come around a curve, only to find traffic at a dead stop. It's kind of nice when someone will come on and let you know a mile or two back that traffic is stopped ahead. It gives you time to back out of it and prepare to stop.[/QUOTE]
