Njection is becoming quite famous for its Speedtrap mashup. They are working on an iPhone version of it to help you avoid getting a very expensive speeding ticket!

“Red light cameras and speed traps are good ideas in theory, but not quite when put into practice. They have become a convenient and socially accepted way to fine drivers and increase local revenue while not actually enhancing road safety, as studies have shown. Article after article nationwide cites how red light cameras are used to increase the amount of money certain cities receive from fines, how well over half of certain towns’ operating budgets come from speeding tickets, and yet how particular kinds of accidents, such as rear-end crashes, actually increase regardless of speed traps.

Stricter DMV licensing standards should be implemented to educate drivers and reduce accidents. Implementations such as these add to drivers frustrations and do nothing to resolve major issues on the road to increase safety. Njection, however, fills this obvious gap.”

They are working on exporting 50,000 speed traps to GPS enabled mobile phones and devices.

Here is a list of some of its features:

• Speech notification of Speed Traps based on your current moving direction and distance to closest point.
• Microsoft Virtual Earth display of Speed Traps.
• Live Updates of speed traps updated from the website or other iPhone users.
• Support for Landscape and Portrait mode.
• Speed Trap Ranking based on level of enforcement and time of day area is monitored.
• 3G and 2.5G* Compatible. (2.5 users are not as accurate to their current location but still can use the service)
• Submit Speed traps from the iPhone or on the website.
• Rate Speed traps from the iPhone or on the website.
• Many more features still in the works.

Who has time to waste in a driving course? Who has the money to spend on a lawyer contesting a ticket? Auto insurance companies increase premiums up to 50% for each of the three years following a single four-point speeding ticket.

The system is unfair to the average aware driver who may or may not test the amount of horses under their hood.

Njection provides an invaluable service to those of us behind the wheel who don’t have fistfuls of cash to hand over to the likes of Prudential, Geico, or Progressive.

Simply click on the SpeedTrap section and see where the danger of being pulled over is the greatest. Money and time saved, broken hearts and broken banks avoided.

It’s that simple.
