Weather conditions this time of year call for extra caution . A CB really helps you keep aware of conditions ahead but assess all info properly . Drivers will still being informing you of a wreck 100 miles ahead . When you consider it's been over an hour and a half since they passed there and will take you at least that long to get there , the incident may not affect you . But to get to my point , there are many incidents in snow and ice where vehicles go off the road into the ditch or median and don't affect traffic . These are removed when weather improves and affect traffic then . An example is a wreck on I-80 E in PA where a truck went through a guardrail at the 152 mile marker . A couple of days later 80E was shut down from 9:00 a.m. 'til 3:00 p.m. and traffic detoured for that wreck to be cleaned up . I encountered other lane closures that day to clean up wrecks that occured the past couple of days . So stay informed and don't assume clear roads after a storm mean smooth sailing .
Just because the roads are clear ......

Yanno Crazynuff I hear your point but these days I'd rather sit in traffic now and then rather than listen to all the idiocy on the CB (Children's Band)
I threw my CB away a few years ago.

I see your point . There are plenty of times I'll turn the CB off when the idiots get on there but to me it's worth it to know there's a major backup ahead and I have a chance to pull off in a rest area or truckstop and take a break rather than sit in a 9 or 10 mile parking lot burning up fuel and watching people fight for lane changes . With lane closures it also helps to know way ahead of time which lane is open although people without CB's can watch the big trucks and see which lane most of them get in .
i alway run with cb on and if they start getting a crazy on radio

going for the sport of it
