Trapster helps you avoid speed traps

by Sherry on October 18th, 2008

Here’s yet another application for the iPhone that can benefit travelers of the road trip variety. Trapster helps you locate and avoid cops who are hiding out in a speed trap. As you’re driving along and notice a cop hanging about with a radar gun looking for people to ticket for speeding, grab your iPhone (or better yet, get your passenger to do it!) and tap on the map to note your current location.

After that, people using Trapster can then get alerts if they’re going to be in that area to let them know about a speed trap lurking in the shadows of an overpass.

Because I’m safety-conscious, I should note that excessive speeding is dangerous and reckless, and you should obey traffic laws. However, it’s not uncommon for people to drive just a little above the speed limit so I can see where this could be a useful application.

Get the app here.
