    is it illegal to drive while using a two-way radio such as a cb from reading this i think it would fall into the in-car communication device but its not very clear and doesnt specifically name two-way radio http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2006/en/act/pub/0023/sec0003.html

    It's not a phone so technically you could use it while driving.

    I actually asked my mate in t.c before and he told me that he thought it was ok as long as you wernt driving carelessly/dangerous as a result.I do think there is a law there saying no you cannot use them. I am sure if nice guy always is around today he will clarify the situation very quickly for us.

    Nice Guy Always clarified it for me in the past that it's illegal :(

    Myself and the missus leave at the same time in the mornings in seperate cars so used to use CB radio's to have a conversation until we went our seperate ways.
