G'day Ed,

I'd say they could book you the same as they book people for using mobile phones.

But I think it's fine to have it on and on the seat next to you. They would have to catch you actually talking into it.

I used to be a big CB user years ago, and the cops never worried about it then, but ahhhh how times have changed.. LOL

AFAIK the use of 2 way radios whilst driving is not an offence in itself, whether they be handheld or fixed with mic. If your driving ability suffers greatly whilst using the handheld then I'm sure a policeman who observes this could do you for reckless driving or some such offence.

I have seen the relevant regulations (in Victoria I think) posted in four wheel drive forums previously.

well, I just found this on the RTA website...

Taken from http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/rulesregulations...ads/pts1-21.pdf (page 310)

300 Use of hand-held mobile phones

    (1)  The driver of a vehicle (except an emergency vehicle or police vehicle) must not use a hand-held mobile phone while the vehicle is moving, or is stationary but not parked, unless the driver is exempt from this rule under another law of this jurisdiction.

Offence provision.

Note Emergency vehicle, park and police vehicle are defined in the

dictionary.

    (2)  In this rule:

            mobile phone does not include a CB radio or any other two-way radio.

Looks like we are safe :shake:

Handhelds rock, specially for pointing out that chick on the corner at the lights just to make sure the lads behind you get a look ;)

But I do think they severly impede your ability to kick the pants off an R34 when you miss 2nd because your trying to taunt Franky and then rem you have to change gears :P

Franky will prolly tell you that his incident was mainly because he was talkin to that mermaid on a handheld CB :bahaha:

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
