My concentration is the road first and the call second. Using the CB radio required more concentration on my part than a phone call. I've been driving for 20+ years and rack up at least 30,000km a year.

Like most Truckies I used to avarage >200,000kms a year.

But I give up, you're obviously far more intelligent than most others on the road. Perhaps you should try for a job with the people who make the rules and tell them that they've got it all wrong.
