Many of you will be hitting the road for the Labor Day weekend before you hop in the car you might want to take a look at a mobile app called Trapster. I just got wind of it recently & it helps you pinpoint speedtraps and red-light cameras. The data is sent in from other travelers, there are more than 60,000 updates from other drivers out there. The mobile app is a free download and has a feature that will enable the phone to beep when a speedtrap is approached.

I certainly don’t advocate for breaking the speed limit but I have been burned by red-light cameras in the past. My bottom line: I would like to know if I’m approaching a red-light camera :-)

How do you feel about this type of app? Will it contribute to more speeding? Will you download it?
