The new IPhone application Trapster is an application that can help you avoid costly speeding tickets and other violations. Trapster locates where police speed traps, red-light cameras, and speeding cameras are located within a certain area. By using the GPS system installed on the IPhone, the application warns you when you are coming close to a speed trap. After the application is installed on the IPhone, an alert will sound if a vehicle has a speed trap inside of it. This helps out many people because it can help them be aware of where the police are and if they are speeding or not. It also will help people from having to pay costly fines for speeding and other violations.

This is a really interesting article! This shows how far we've come in technology and how it makes our lives better.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool! How could you invent something to warn you speed traps. How far we've advanced is just incredible. WOW!!
ReplyDeleteThis is cool. I wonder how far ahead it could warn you so you would have time to stop?
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good idea. Everyone that has an iPhone most likely uses it all the time and so checking occasionally for speed traps would be quick and easy.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool, but doesn't it defeat the purpose of a speed trap? People that have this may use it so they can drive faster but only slow down where there is a speed trap. I think it will cause more accidents because people will drive faster with this. It is a cool technology but I think it will be bad in general. Without one people will be more cautious drivers, therefore less accidents.
