Best of all, they\u2019re free.The most effective apps are simple, perform automatically, and save you time. Some even track work travel expenses to make it easier to file your taxes. Here are a few of the most popular ones:SaferCar AppLet\u2019s start with SaferCar.\u00a0SaferCar is a recent offering from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).With SaferCar, learn the facts about a recall \u2013 quickly, definitively, and directly from the source \u2013 so you can get it fixed and stay safe. More than 53 million recalls of car equipment, parts, and products are issued annually. More than 25% of vehicles on the road have an unrepaired recall, and that\u2019s a safety risk.It\u2019s an easy, three-step process. SaferCar remembers your data, notifying you of recalls, and pointing you to local dealerships handling car repairs, so you can get it fixed for free.You can add other information and features to enrich the experience and customize the app to your needs. NHTSA doesn\u2019t store your data. It stays on your smartphone. This is designed to protect your privacy and keep your data safe.Google Play Store \u2022 App StoreLifeSaver AppDistracted driving continues to be a growing cause of car accidents. LifeSaver is\u00a0a popular safe driving app that combines GPS monitoring\u00a0with a\u00a0rewards system to help drivers eliminate distracted driving habits.It works by preventing drivers from using their cell phones while driving. It also enables parents to track and reward\u00a0safe driving habits for their teen children drivers.LifeSaver blocks all cell phone apps. It notifies family or friends when you reach your destination. And it doesn\u2019t require any new hardware.Google Play Store \u2022 App StoreDrivemode AppA convenient addition to your driving smartphone apps, Drivemode will automatically launch when it senses speeds higher than 15mph. Parents can be notified if this app is disabled by their teen drivers. It connects with your navigation, music, and messaging app of choice as well so you can still be alerted while not having to take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.You can set up auto-replies or message shortcuts if you still want to be responsive while on the road as well. One important note, however, is that the app is better rated for Android users. It seems Apple users simply want more features out of the Drivemode app than it currently provides.Google Play Store \u2022 App StoreDrive Safe.ly AppLastly, this safe driving tool is mentioned just about everywhere. Drive Safe.ly is well-reviewed by experts and appears to be the top free app on the market. Yet, it is not available on Apple devices in the App Store.It automates your incoming phone communication. Drive Safe.ly reads your text, Facebook messages, and tweets to you while you drive so that you can focus on actually driving.However, one concern is, it could present some awkward moments if there\u2019s someone else in the car with you.Google Play\u00a0Hurt in an Accident in Oklahoma?
