There is a new website out there called Trapster ... and if you have any GPS enabled device, including an iPhone, you need to sign up for this free service. http://www.trapster.com/

By signing up, you can download alerts to your GPS device that will automatically warn you when you are approaching a known Red Light Camera or common Speed Trap. If you are using an internet enabled device, such as an iPhone, you can get and send live alerts to other users. 

The setup is amazingly simple, you can either choose a route (which I do when traveling) or set a radius around your common driving area, and the website will automatically create a downloadable file that you can load into your GPS. When you are approaching one of these traps, you will get a friendly alert at a distance you specify. 

Everyone who has a car navigation system should be participating in this community. You even have the option to make your own specific community where you can invite select people to share and receive updates from. 

In the cat-and-mouse game, we have a great advantage by utilizing technology to avoid paying 'road tax' ... and given the current state of things, that is something that everyone should be keenly interested in.
