I have a different approach to beating the revenue raisers....
Don't speed.
100% success rate so far.
Also less likely to have, or cause, a serious accident.

So what you're saying is you're faffing around with your phone whilst speeding.
I've got an inbuilt App in my car called a speedometer and more than two working brain cells which allow me to read the numbers in circles on signs and control the speed of my car.
No speeding fines since 1995 and +50k driving a year

Waze does have other uses though. Its good to see traffic slow downs and breakdowns, so that you can divert away from them. I had one recently where three lanes of traffic had stopped all of a sudden up ahead, due to an accident, and I noticed it in time and was able to take a side street to get around it. As its using GPS data from other Waze users, it shows up almost straight away.
The cop thing is good too, although I am more of the type that figures if you aren't paying attention you deserve to get pinged. You can get away with driving at the speed limit all day, yet you see people driving at 10 to 20 over, and surely they aren't really paying attention.

I use Waze all the time even when I know where I'm going. A relatively easy interface to feed you live traffic data and will automatically re-route you around jams if it finds a better route.
It also has had most of the speed zones in there already and you can set it to beep at you if you're speeding. Can be extremely useful if you miss a sign or don't know the area.
