For some people driving happens to be a passion. For other’s it’s a means for getting around. Either way, cars are an important part of our lives. Where would we be without them? There are apps for just about everything these days, so why not have apps for driving. Who wouldn’t benefit from them? After all, pretty much everyone owns a car these days. Whether you’re an enthusiast or just someone who drives to work every day, the apps mentioned below will help you no matter what.
Trapster
Your daily commute is treacherous enough without the obstacles in your way. Traffic jams and construction work just add to your misery and prevent you from reaching your destination on time. ‘Trapster’ helps you avoid such obstacles, so you’re always on time. It’s an online community of drivers that alerts you about obstacles on your route. These alerts are received in real time and they’re constantly updated. You can also contribute to the community and help other drivers like yourself reach their destination without any trouble. Traffic police in the area can also be avoided using this app.
Witness Driving
Sometimes accidents happen and there’s no way you can avoid it. Sometimes, it’s not even your fault. You were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. To avoid being blamed for accidents that weren’t your fault, use the ‘Witness Driving’ app. It records everything you see while driving and it can later be presented as evidence for insurance purposes. This will help speed up the process and ensure that you get your claim on time. You can tweak the settings of this app to record longer videos and consume less memory.
The Ultimate Drive
For those who love to drive, beautiful scenic routes are a dream come true. Unfortunately, you don’t come across many of them. However, with ‘The Ultimate Drive’, you can find such routes with relative ease. Based on the recommendations of other drivers you can explore roads that you haven’t before. It’s sort of an adventure in itself. This app has been brought to you by BMW financial services. With this app you can share your favorite routes with members of the BMW car club.
Driver Feedback
You may still be in need of driving lessons, because most people drive like amateurs. Accelerating hard and taking sharp turns aren’t the signs of an experienced driver. This kind of driving can cause accidents and put lives at risk. Use the ‘Driver Feedback’ app to improve your driving skills. Based on your acceleration the app provides tips for you to improve. It also provides an overall score for the duration of the entire trip. If you see your subsequent scores improving, then you know you’re doing a good job. The NHTSA blames improper acceleration as a cause for accidents.
Driving becomes a much more rewarding experience thanks to the apps mentioned here. Perhaps after using them you’ll start to appreciate why people like driving so much, if you didn’t appreciate it already.
