Can I use a CB radio while driving?
I have an interest in radios, so I was tinkering around with the idea of having one in my truck. However, I don’t want to break the law by doing so. Can I use a CB radio while I’m driving a non-commercial truck?

Some jurisdictions may consider this using a handheld device—similar to using your smartphone. In this case, using your CB radio while driving may be illegal depending on the state and local laws.
