5 Smartphone Apps For Drivers


Using your smartphone while driving sure is dangerous. In fact, it is illegal in many states. However, it cannot be denied that certain smartphone apps make our driving experience a lot safer and more convenient. From locating the nearest station with the cheapest gas prices to finding the best route with the least traffic, smartphone apps can help us avoid little annoyances down the road.


Here are the five must-have smartphone apps every savvy

driver should have.


1. Sigalert

• This smartphone app is very useful in avoiding traffic prone areas. It uses three colors—yellow, green, and red—to inform drivers of the traffic condition in their cities. Aside from that, it also gives them real time access to live traffic cameras and shows the locations of construction sites, roadworks, and accidents. The only downside of this app is that it is only available in iOS devices. Android and Blackberry users can use Google Maps. However, unlike Sigalert, Google Maps do not give them access to live traffic video cameras.


2. DriveSafe.ly

• DriveSafe.ly is an amazing app that will make your driving experience a lot safer. This app eliminates the need for you to grab you phone while driving to read your texts messages or emails. It functions by reading aloud all of your emails or text messages in real time. With this app, you can keep your hands on the wheel while staying connected with your friends, family members, or workmates.


3. RepairPal

• Finding a repair shop in the middle of nowhere sure is a big problem. But thanks to RepairPal, finding the nearest location of a mechanic is very easy. Aside from that, this app will also give you an estimate as to how much a car repair would cost. And that’s not all. With RepairPal, you can be sure that the mechanic you will hire is certified, professional, and reliable. This app only gives drivers a list of qualified mechanics in their locations who have good reviews and technical certification.


4. DriveScribe

• This app is perfect for parents whose son or daughter is still new to driving. It provides novice drivers with information as well as tips on safe driving practices. Aside from that, DriveScribe can also send alerts to parents, informing them if their teenagers receive any traffic violation.


5. GasBuddy

• Of course, this list will not be complete without the app that will help you find the nearest gas station with the cheapest prices. GasBuddy is very easy to use. You can conveniently search for the cheapest gas prices by entering your city, zip, or location. Because it is crowd sourced, the data that you will receive from GasBuddy comes from other drivers. This simply means that member drivers—including you—are responsible for keeping the gas prices updated.


• Now there you have it—the five smartphone apps that every savvy driver should have. By using some of the apps mentioned above, you can be sure that your driving experience will be a lot safer and more convenient.
