You can also turn off the alerts completely.

Great. Now if we could only turn off the pop-up ads.

I a visual warning will pop up on the app's screen showing your speed. The warning stays there until you slow down to below the speed limit

I don't see the point of this app. I don't look at my cell phone while driving, and I would not expect any safe drivers to do so either. The exception is at traffic lights, and the warning goes off when you stop.

Around where I live, if you followed the speed limits you’d be run off the road.....unless, of course, a cop car appears, in which case everyone is very law-abiding.

Stupid and redundant. Why would anyone need an app like that when they already have the instruments cluster right there on the panel in front of their faces?

Back when the 55 mph speed limit was en vogue during the Carter years, I rented a U-Haul which had a mechanism in the accelerator that prevented the truck from going faster than 55 mph. I could see a return to cars that cannot exceed, say, 70 mph, especially as the EPA nazis continue their crusade.

"You can customize the app to warn you if you reach the speed limit or if you shoot past it by 5 percent, 10 percent or 15 percent."

They should put it in terms that people will understand. It would probably be more effective if it warns you when you reached certain fine limits (accompanied by a little blue revolving light, of course)

Speed warning. If pulled by the Highway Patrol, you will expect to pay $75.00...

Many GPS devices already do this. I have a BMW motorcycle Garmin Navigator V that shows the current speed limit and the displayed speed limit turns red when I exceed it. I *think* it turns to black when I go under the limit...but I haven’t tested that yet.

Not sure why this is such a big deal.

My Garmin GPS already does this. The speed limit on most roads is shown at the bottom right of the screen, and it’s very accurate.

I can watch it change just as I pass the speed limit sign.

Who needs an app? Is my car moving? Then I am speeding.

Of course, using a cell phone while driving in many places will get you a nice fine. $295 where I live. Farging Google geniuses...........
