Had thought about getting one too but didn't go any further. No idea what to get any pointers?

I have a UHF cb hard wired in the Trueno, and I have a pair of handhelds as well

Yup.. but.... the hand held one that you guys are talking about as far as I know aren't covered as they are used for 'recreational use' not business.

stuff.co.nz wrote: What's allowed

* Using a phone if "stuck in traffic due to the road ahead being blocked, for example, because of an accident". This does not apply when drivers are "stationary in the normal flow of traffic, such as approaching intersections, traffic lights or roadworks".

* Making or receiving calls if the driver does not have to "hold or manipulate the phone" (that is, the phone is fully voice-activated).

* Making or receiving calls if the phone is "secured in a mounting fixed to the vehicle". This typically means a cradle, or fully integrated systems. But the driver can only manipulate a securely mounted phone "infrequently and briefly".

* If the phone is securely mounted, drivers may use speed dial. They may also enter a full phone number if the manipulation is infrequent and brief.

* Using earphones, headsets and mouthpieces attached to phones, provided the driver does not hold or manipulate the phone.

* Using music functions of phones, provided the device is mounted.

* Using satellite navigation functions of phones, provided the device is securely mounted.

* Making genuine emergency 111 calls. This includes genuine *555 calls, which are used to report dangerous driving.

* Using CB radio and two-way radios.

I have the cb purely for road trips (and listening in on contractors in tractors on my way home from work), apart from the initial outlay theyre much cheaper than using cell phones to communicate between cars!

Anyone interested in going in on these:

Seems pretty cheap if we have four people going in.
