I’d like to categorize Trapster.com under one of the most useful sites EVER.

When it comes to driving, I used to be a speedaholic. This coincided with another talent I had: being a cute teenage girl. Once I hit the 20s though, cops started getting less sympathetic and more into ticket-distributing. I had to quit speeding.

And that hurts.

Trapster creates a user community submitting locations of speed traps all over the country using Google maps via the ‘net or the mobile. Once a user submits a speed trap by phone, Trapster will notify you if you are nearing that speed trap on your OWN phone.

Additionally, if some prankster logs in and keeps making up speed traps, her/his credibility will drop, and her/his reports won’t be sent out any longer (hopefully that won’t end up a boy-who-cried-wolf sitch).

I can speed again with confidence. And it’s not annoying to actually be part of this community. Two pluses.
