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.

I’m using personal experience to make my observations not an American study.
I’m not going to spend the day searching for information that I feel doesn’t really need to be justified. The current laws state mobile phone’s are not to be used in your hand and a CB mic is ok. That’s enough proof for me.
