When you’re driving, all of your attention should be focused on the open road. The emergence of smartphones has changed a lot regarding car safety. Picking up the phone and taking a quick second call? Not a good idea, but tolerable if short lived. Seeing a person update their Facebook status on a smartphone in the middle of traffic? That’s insanity! Our smartphones have become an extension of us; here are some great iPhone apps that can keep you driving safely, while making your life easier in the process.
Car Finder Plus is an app that records your position when you leave your car, tracking your location in the process. The GPS stores this location and when you’re looking for your vehicle after running your errands, it provides a display of where to locate your car.
Another great (free) app is Trapster. Trapster allows drivers to scan the area for known speed traps, police hangouts, speed cameras or even stop-light cameras. Using the GPS capabilities in your smart phone it uses reported speed traps in Trapster’s network database to give voice alerts of approaching traps. This technology is due to a network of over 5 million Trapster users that constantly contribute trap locations.
There are countless smartphone applications available for your phone that helps make life a tad easier. Check out your smartphone application store for details and continue to drive safely!
