CB radio and ham radio has recently been outlawed in Ontario, Canada

case of vagurly or broadly worded law. This was deliberate. And if it
can happen in Canada, which it did, it can also happen in the U.S

Notice the CB and ham radio excuse of using microphones being safer
doesn't hold any water with the government lawmakers: And I've seen
the same similar description elsewhere of lawmakers in the U.S. saying
two way radios are even more dangerous than cell phones because of all
the buttons and dials and cord on the microphone which has to be hand
held.


This is no big deal. All you need is a bluetooth device with vox to
accomplish the task. For truckers this does make since, becuase they
need both hands free for the wheel and the trucks gears. I think the
impact on four wheelers is going to be very small since CB has basically
died for most drivers. It won't be a problem for hams either since they
can use VOX & Bluetoothdevices to talk.
If this law was passed thirty years ago it would be a problem, but with
all the high tech gear that can solve such problems it will be easy to
adapt for the changes in the law.
