Trapster: Get Alerted About Speed Traps On Your Way

Remember the day when you were driving fast and suddenly a police man appeared from no where, stopped you and booked you for driving faster than the permitted speed levels ? Didn’t you wish if you could know there was a speed trap on the way ? Trapster offers just that. It’s a free web tool which creates maps of speed traps on the roads near you and alerts you on your cell phone by its mobile app, whenever you are approaching such a trap.

Trapster’s maps are user generated and through it’s mobile app users can report speed traps with a push of a button thereby making the maps more accurate. Currently it offers mobile apps for Windows Mobile, the BlackBerry, S60 smart phones, Nokia N95 and very soon it will offer for iPhone 3G too.
