As time goes by and technology increases, so are the amounts of traffic citations that are paid by drivers every day. More and more speed cameras are placed throughout our cities that snap pictures of the license plates of drivers who are going over the speed limit. These drivers are unaware that they have just been caught speeding until they receive their traffic citation through the mail days later.
Just recently, Baltimore has placed new speed cameras throughout their city and authorities are already enforcing the speed limits by recently sending out 1,400 traffic citations through the mail. Drivers were warned for six weeks prior to the mailings but speeders have still ignored the signs that were placed in the areas of interest.
Want to avoid these surprise traffic citations? There is a great application out on the market called PhantomAlert that warns drivers of nearby speed traps, speed cameras, DUI check points and other hazards that you may encounter when driving.
The company has more than 400,000 points of interest in their database and are continually adding more by reports from users who spot areas where there are check points or cameras. The company also checks these hot spots for accuracy so drivers are not mislead by the systems warnings. Drivers will have plenty of time to slow down before approaching surveillance areas so that traffic tickets can be avoided.
