Dashboard Gadget Alerts Drivers Of Speed Traps and Hazards
The next generation of on-the-road technology is here, and it's called TrapTap. TrapTap is a small device that's placed on a car dashboard and linked to the driver's cell phone through an app that will alert the drivers of speed traps and several other driving hazards. The high-tech gadget keeps you from getting an expensive traffic ticket in a number of ways, and it costs less than an old school radar detector. Those two key benefits are why the crowdfunding campaign for the device has been a huge hit so far.
TrapTrap let's you know when you're speeding using a simple green light. The only way to make the light go away, is to slow down to a more reasonable speed. As long as you pay attention and follow the indicator, you'll spare yourself a costly traffic ticket or a dangerous accident.
The device will also alert you whenever you enter a speed trap, a school zone, or pass through a traffic light that takes pictures of cars running red lights. The device has all of these locations mapped out in dozens of different countries. Instead of these locations sneaking up on drivers and putting you at risk of a costly traffic ticket, the TrapTap will start blinking and you'll be able to slow down before it's too late.
What's cool about that is that drivers who discover speed traps and school zones that aren't yet in the system can update it, immediately helping out other drivers. Just a couple of taps of the device will put a new speed trap into the map, immediately alerting other drivers. There's nothing like a community helping each other out.
What helps separate TrapTap from radar detectors and similar devices is that TrapTap is not a distraction to drivers. All it does is sit in front of you on the dashboard, where you're looking anyway, so you don't have to keep taking your eyes off the road to check it. When it starts lighting up, you'll be able to notice it instantly and respond in the appropriate manner. You don't have to keep checking it worried that you'll missing something the way you do with other navigation apps, which have the potential to cause more harm than good.
Finally, TrapTap is something you can take with you everywhere you, unlike other apps or systems that may be built right into the car. If you drive multiple cars, need to switch cars at the last minute, or are driving a rental car, TrapTap can go with you, so you know you'll always have it no matter what. In fact, the gadget is so small and portable that it's even compatible with motorcycles, so motorcycle riders can share in all the benefits that TrapTap has to offer.
Between the safety, convenience, and features of TrapTap, it's truly at the cutting edge of on-the-road technology. There are almost-endless benefits to using it with no downside, and if it prevents you from receiving just one traffic ticket, it will be well worth the investment.
