Question Radio Communication on Road Trips

I always thought that having a two-way radio setup in the first and last cars would be extremely helpful. Would like to find a good radio system that doesn't make the electronic ignition act up when you key down the mike button.
A group of more than about 10 cars always presents a challenge when going through towns, seems like a few guys always get stopped by traffic lights or at stop signs when crossing a busy highway.
A couple of years ago we tried using the little 2-way hand-held transceivers and every time we keyed the mike, one of the guy's engine would misfire.
Is anyone familiar with a good system? A few of us have amateur radio licenses, has anyone used '2-meter rigs' in this scenario?
