You can be out of range before the car is out of sight.
The same can be true of CB if you don't have the antenna-age
right.
We also use them between the truck cab and camper. Rarely
is anybody riding back there, though.

Does anyone still use CB radios anymore?
I was thinking about our planned caravan to Indiana with three vehicles
(me driving our Big Red Van [BRV (tm)] towing our utility trailer, Shirley
driving our E320, and my brother driving a rental truck towing our
240D/3.0), and realized that cell phones
Just buy some of those little hand-held radios, they are cheap and some
have quite good range, certainly enough for car-car. Then you don't
have the hassle of installs and all that. I have seen them at El
Mercado de Wal and outdoor/sports shops.

We do, when caravanning. I acquired (via thrift shop over time)
four Uniden 510XL (?) and magnetic antennae. They're a bit large
and clunky, but they work well and have good range, and are
loud enough that the whole car can hear. Cigarette lighter

Yes, the truckers call out all the speed traps, accidents, construction,
etc.
Also, if one is hogging the left lane and taking ten minutes to pass
another truck going just .5 mph slower, you can mimic as another truck and
request him or her to hurry it up and let you by.

I have heard some great jokes on the CB, late at night, from truckers
out in the middle of nowhere.
Of course, they might not be Approved for All Audiences...

But you can do more with longer range FRS stuff for car to car and then use
them while wandering around
