Sorry, but its not. Really not.
The position of the CB/UHF mic is situated in the same location each time. On its hook. And its a real life push button, not a button that changes position pending on where your hand is, and can be unreachable if your phone is big enough. Your phone isn't always in the same place.
20 Years ago I could fire out a text message on the old push button phones. Muscle memory, with or without predictive text. Didnt need to look. Could easily hold a conversation, watch tv, etc while doing it.
Now compare that with todays phones with interchangeable keyboards, autocorrect, etc, you consistently make mistakes due to no physical reference point to type with on the touch screens. You hit "v" instead of "C", "Y" instead of "T". There is even a term that has developed from this.
"Fat fingers". It happens all the time.
The CB V phone argument doesnt hold water.
On a personal note, I am tired of these drivers almost causing incidents, I've been near the receiving end of this too many times.
You can accidentally not indicate, accidentally speed, I cant see how you can accidentally touch your phone. You know straight away you're doing the wrong thing.
I say get 'em. Get 'em all.
