Have you ever felt the need to say something to the reckless driver in the car next to you? Perhaps tell him how crazy bad his driving skills are? Or maybe compliment his new car? Of course, you can’t just stop and confront him while on the wheel. Fortunately, Carpong is a simple social network app that lets you send messages to other drivers using their license plates.

To use Carpong, just post your message in the website with the plate number, color, and brand of the car. You can enter and follow your license plate to receive e-mail notifications if someone sends a comment for you. You can also follow your friends’ license plates to see what they have to say about other drivers. Your messages can be accessed by everyone and you can find specific plate numbers through the search box.

Carpong is a cool way for frustrated drivers to let out their road rage.

Features:

Send messages to other drivers by entering only their plate numbers.
Search for messages about your license plate.
Get alerted through e-mail when someone sends messages to your plate number.
Follow your friends’ plate number to see messages about them.
