Today while checking my email I saw a ton of people wondering what exactly Phatom Alert was. The Site was featured on CBS news this morning, and since has blown up my inbox.
Phanton Alert is a software you can simply download into your GPS and get updates as to where exactly police radar traps are. These speed traps can cost drivers hundreds of dollars every time they are stopped, but with the help of Phantom Alert, you will not even need a radar detector any longer. Radar detectors can often be bypassed by new technologies that law enforcement officers are using.
How does Phantom Alert Work?
Drivers and paid spotters for PhantomAlert will monitor traffic areas. They then go to a website and report Speed Traps, Red Light Cameras, Speeding Cameras, Driving under the influence Checkpoints, and other enforcement areas. This then is quickly displayed on ones GPS enabled navigational tool, via their wifi connection they have in their vehicle. Every single time you approach a law enforcement area you will be alerted, much like a radar detector with a map. Because of the location enabled detection, you will be able to see far ahead up the road, enabling you to turn off the road, slow down, and avoid a possible arrest or traffic ticket. Their Moto is “Drivers Helping Drivers.” It’s sort of like when you are driving down the highway and a fellow vehicle flashes their high beams at you to warn you about an upcoming speed trap. The only difference is that with this service, you will have hundreds of drivers looking out for your well being.
How much is Phantom Alert?
Phantom Alert has various pricing levels depending on the service you order. You can order an unlimited membership for only $99.99 for a lifetime, or opt to get the monthly $9.99 package, or yearly $39.99 package. Note that you must have a GPS (Global positioning satellite) enabled navigation device to participate in this membership full of amazing benefits. You will be alerted to almost every possible law enforcement location, however, Phantom Alert does not guarantee you will be cover 100% and will not get a ticket. I can tell you from personal experience that this service is actually very well worth your money. I prefer the yearly package as it will save you a ton in the long run. The network of spotters seems to be increasing, giving coverage to nearly every area in the United States. Recently PhantomAlert has been featured on major news shows on CBS, NBC, and CNN. This product is real and is not a gimmick. The quality behind it says it all.

how does it work against laser? does it have locations for photo radar?
i think the next technology will involve radar and laser absorption and deflection.
or we can go for unlimited highway speeds like the autobahn or just go slower.
always drive safe, reduce distractions, be vigilant
