Trapster

Well it seams it's pretty much agreed that these new Mobile speed cameras(in NSW) are purely for revenue raising and are not in interest of road safety at all.
The governement has said multiple times how much money it will bring in, but they have never quoted how many lives it will save. Probably because they don't know/care.
Most people who get done by them are people unintentionally doing 5 to 10 or so over the speed limit. So why don't we beat them at their own game.

Got and iPhone or another phone that can use apps? Go to the App store right now and download "Trapster speed traps alert".
It is a free and very useful.

You leave this app open while you drive and it audibly and visually warns you of hazards ahead. Warnings include Fixed Speed and Red Light cameras, known enforcement points, live police, combo cameras, mobile speed cameras, accidents, dangerous intersections or curves, road closures, school zones and a few other hazards on the road.

If you are driving along and you notice an unreported mobile speed camera, you simply press "report" and a warning is left in that location for other drivers.
You can also enable Push Notifications so the app will inform you when a new trap is added, even if the app is not even running on your Phone.
On the map it shows blue lines on the road if other users have recently traveled on that road(if they are registered). So you are aware that people are constantly using this application

I have had this app for a few months and when I got it, it was very quite, might not get a hazard added for a day or 2. But lately around here it has picked up and multiple hazards are reported everyday. The more people the better. It's not just so people can avoid a fine, it also makes driving safer by alerting approaching people of hazards.

So start using this app as much as possible, tell everyone you know about it. The more popular it is, the more useful it is.
