V!

When i lived in the UK (same laws apply) I was driving behind a Jag XJS which was all over the road and I mean ALL OVER THE ROAD and was prooving a real hazzrd to himself and everyone else. I used my mobile to ring the police while tailing him. I have the details of his car and told them exactly where he was, and were we were heading. I gave full details of myself (as required) and made no attempt to hide the fact that I was using a phone while driving. They did not arrest me. They did not caution me in any way. Make of that what you will.

All I want to know is... what's the diference between using a mobile phone in your hand (held to the ear and mouth) and the good old fassioned CB Radio... (held to the mouth)? Correct me if im wrong... but wasn't it perfactly legal to use the latter while traveling on the road?
