I´m not sure of this as far as Latin America is concerned (and I presume even parts of Africa). Two way radios are the most common stuff down here (Bolivia, most "backward" country on the hemisphere... Sorry Bolivians, just joking ;-))
80% of taxis in this town (Santa Cruz de la Sierra or any other town in Bolivia) use two way radios. Even if the brakes don´t work, the radio will!!!
I never took a radio accross a border, the only thing I could imagine worrying about is a transmitting licence, but that won´t be a problem with the short range ones.
There`s a good thread on this theme in the "communication" forum.
Cheers!
