CB radio was the result of US conditions under the 55 limit and the need for trucks to run at 75 mph + to get any work done.
It was mainly a tool to relay warnings of speed enforcement activety using kit designed for the purpose ( AM sets with ‘burners’ to extend their already considerable range ).Combined with radar detection which would put GCHQ to shame. ![]()
That’s how those great films like Convoy and Smokey originated.You can add some of the car ones in the day like Gumball Rally and Cannonball Run they were all a product of their time.Great days based on contempt of authority which ain’t coming back unfortunately. ![]()

I’ve seen both Smokey and Convoy, it’s what made me want to become a trucker ffs all those years ago as a young lad.
However…wait for it…
Best film EVER bar none is this one…The theme tune is my own personal soundtrack to life…, it plays out of nowhere everytime I jump out of my truck and walk over the truck park

I struggle to think of a classic film I like.
I really enjoyed Animal Farm the cartoon
