Highway voice system
Citizens band radio is a system of short-range radio communication available to the general public without a license, operating on designated frequencies.
Truckers and motorists use it to share road conditions, avoid speed traps, and chat.
The CB radio craze peaked in the 1970s, spawning its own slang: breaker breaker, 10-4, what's your 20?
Often shortened to CB radio or just CB.
