With the influx of roadside camera’s, cops, roadside car camera’s, moving car camera’s and radar’s, this just might be the ultimate way to find those speed traps if you dont want to manual input them into your cars GPS. Behold the TRAPSTER!

So how does it work? Basically its a community social network, in which regular people select places where there are speed traps. Whether it be a place a police car parks, or a camera or whatever. Most people will think there is probably many “hoax” points where there are actually no dangers evident. But Trapster have thought of that and your entry has to be verified by a certain amount of people before it gets accepted. In Kuwait every point was either spot on with a camera, and if not, it was a place where a cop car usually parks or a roadside car camera parks. Amazingly simple, its just a brilliant application whatever your platform is. This is also available for Nokia in the Ovi store. Trapster can be found here.
