Cool apps and very useful, I’ll definitely try one of these.. 🙂
There really is an app for everything these days! I had never even thought about how useful a smartphone could be after an accident.
The Car Accident Report app sounds really useful, it is always important to make sure you have all the details you need.
Some really good apps here Andrew, thank you for making me think 🙂
Those apps might be quite useful, especially in the west.
Here in China, when two cars hit eachother, they need to stop and wait for the police. right where they are. if this is in the middle of a busy road, creating a big traffic jam, so be it.
This is so the police can more easily see what happened.
Also there are more and more insurance companies that force you to built in a special dashboard camera that will start recording when it senses an accident happening. Like you braking very hard.
This way the insurance company has video proof that their client was/ or hopefully in their case Wasn’t the cause of the accident.
I have to agree with Christopher, I can’t believe how many apps there are! Even for niche areas such as for car accidents!
I have to admit, if I had a car accident my first instinct probably wouldn’t be to get my iPhone out to use an app, but it’s good to have these never the less 😛
These apps are very helpful and very handy. Nowadays, technology really helpful in our day to day life. Thanks for sharing these useful apps that can really help in times of accidents which can even save life.
Agree with you. Especially the usage of smartphones are increasing and application developers are creating new applications everyday to make our lifestyle easy. Thanks a lot to @Peter for posting about these useful car accident apps which can be life saving apps for many people.
I have to agree that these apps are pretty cool and super helpful, but when you need to preform CPR are you really going to have time to look up the directions and follow it step-by-step?
