Following a near lethal car accident yesterday involving family, at a persistent accident blackspot on the A5:
I wonder if any navigation apps can also warn the driver when they're approaching a high risk spot, especially if still recent?
I'd find that valuable, to prompt me to take extra care.
It might save some lives, and generate feedback for needed improvements.
Edit: if not apps; make the car itself tell you somehow it's a bit dodgy!
