The warning radar changes its name but ultimately no function

Since yesterday, warning radars have become outlaws have been replaced by "assistants to help conduct". A new device whose purpose is always the reporting of radars.Exit alarms radar, here are the assistants of driving assistance. Since the IRB's decision to ban the reporting of speed cameras, alarms manufacturers were asked to adapt. However, thanks to a popular mobilization, they could save themselves by getting permission to market wizards driving aids that indicate radar ... more explicitly. But ultimately, these new devices marketed for a few days doing the same job, with a little more hypocritical than before.
For proof, just cross the threshold of a shop from a major manufacturer and find that the discourse of vendors has not changed. During our visit without presenting themselves as a journalist, a seller has clearly stated that "These new devices, even if they are disguised as security tool, is made to drive fast. Users will not report anything other than a police check, they are used to that and that's what the community expects. "

Using the new application on Smartphone Icoyote, there is in fact the changes are relatively weak. An awareness message appears at startup, reported events are located by area and not by points (which is only anticipating the alarm) and most importantly, word radar is completely banned. He was replaced by "danger zone" for a fixed "risk zone" for a mobile reported by other users. It is not explicit but you soon realize that correspondence. A bottle of apple juice labeled alcohol at the time of the prohibition would have done better in terms of diversion. Only drawback for users, it is often dense medium of a zone of "danger" to the other without necessarily being on the road affected by the radar and therefore unnecessary alerts succeed.
As for the old devices connected, they are automatically updated to meet the new legislation while the GPS embedded and nomads enjoy a stay until the end of the year and can always explicitly specify the location of the radar.
