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:

    • The nipple is easy. It's not the turbo inlet pipe. It is the outlet of the turbo and it is the source of the boost signal to drive the wastegate.
    • if anyone has a stock rB25DET and can trace these lines and wires and show me what yours connect to I would really appreciate it. this was an RB20 auto car that's been DET/5spd swapped. i would like to figure out if the harness was never modified or replaced accordingly. black plug coming off the harness wrapping around the back of the intake manifold grey IACV plug random brown/grey plugs hanging out near the left strut tower the vacuum nipple coming off the turbo inlet pipe. i can't entirely tell what this connects to in the vacuum line diagram. so neither my TPS nor my IACV are plugged in. what should be here? yes, i've googled, yes, i've read the SAU threads and asked the FB groups. yes i've read the vacuum line diagrams and stuff.
    • 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
