The use of a CB/2 way radio is far less distracting compared to a mobile phone.
As for looking away to find the mic, don’t forget most people that use a CB spend 8+ hours a day sitting in the same seat with the same surroundings. Any driver that has to take his eyes off the road to find a mic should hand his licence in, Ive been there done that.
Do you have anything to back up your claim that using a CB radio is less distracting than talking on a phone? One of the conclusions from the following study is "Talking/listening on a hands-free cell phone did not have an increased odds ratio".
