Many people feel upset when they are fined for speeding in places where they were unaware of the presence of speed cameras. While it is important to respect the speed limits on the roads, knowing in advance about the existence of speed cameras and receiving audible alerts can be extremely useful.
To help you avoid these situations, we have put together a list of four apps that will alert you to the presence of speed cameras on your route. Most of these apps also have GPS functionality, making them ideal for use in conjunction with in-car mounts for Android devices.
