Legally using a CB or Amateur Radio Whilst Driving

Can you legally use a CB radio whilst driving in the UK?Yes you can, two
way radios such as CB, amateur radio, taxi radio etc are exempt from
the mobile phone laws. But be aware that you will be prosecuted if your
use of a CB radio results in dangerous driving or an accident. Also,
using one will give the police an excuse to pull you over much the same
as they pull over vehicles that have blue LED lights which aren't
illegal either. Have a look at the Police National Legal Database
http://www.askthe.police.uk and do a search for CB or blue LED's but
remember - the police just need an excuse to check both you and your
vehicle.
