No speed trap reports? That's what I remember finding most useful.
Brings to mind a story...
I was traveling with some friends, heading east on I-90 out of Seattle, going to Montana. We used the CB to chat between vehicles about where and when to make pit stops. No cell phones back then.
There is a section that's pretty much out in the desert, amongst the tumbleweeds. I managed to get myself pulled over for doing about 7mph over the limit, and was having a conversation with the officer talking to me through my window. The CB was still on, and my buddy in the other car who was behind me by a mile or so, comes on and says "Watch your speed, the cop who runs this stretch is a REAL A-HOLE. ". It came through LOUD and CLEAR. Ooops.
I remember looking at the cop's face. He seemed less than pleased at first. Then he gave me a goofy grin and said "I can be, but just slow down and be on your way". He handed me my license and that was it.
That's my funny CB story.
