If you are driving around in a 10 year old car then let me tell you one thing. Get a new car, sell your house, re-mortgage your house, sell your kidney or even get involved in people smuggling. If you are reading this in Columbia, become a drugs overlord. Do anything to get a new car. So why am I urging you to do so? Well the chances are that you own a iPhone 7 which is probably worth more than the 10-year-old beaten-up Nissan Micra you are currently driving.

So on grounds of safety you should replace your car with a new one because the latest breed of cars are now going connected, yes you can turn you auto-mobile into a true mobile phone.

Now you have your new car the time will arrive when you have to go on an epic road trip, usually too the nearest out of town shopping districts.

How do you spend your time driving while sitting in an endless road trip traffic jam. Get your smartphone out and app your way out of traffic jam boredom. These are some of the apps you should consider.

SelfieX

Why people feel the need to take selfies while driving is difficult to understand. Neither do I understand how people take perfectly framed selfies. One reason may be because these expert selfie takers are cheating. The SelfiX app gives real-time vocal directions to make sure you’re in always perfectly in frame.

Casino Games

Lets face it most people like the mental arithmetic challenge offered by online Casino Games. Online gambling is becoming more popular, so if you think Sudoku is too easy then you can find a diverse range of online casino car games that you can play from your mobile at casino.com website.

Audible

If you get tired of hearing you’re other half chatter away about hair and make-up make sure to download Audible which basically allows you to switch off from real life and enter the world of downloadable audio books so you don’t have to read just listen… and not to your other half.

Deezer

We actually prefer Deezer to Spotify because it’s got a better UI, both are kind of like your own personal cloud based music library that allows you to choose from millions of music tracks. Say hello to freedom and goodbye to annoying commercial radio, you know being interrupted by annoying DJ’s who talk over the much more interesting ad breaks.

Waze

To ensure you arrive at your road trip destination quickly and without getting slapped with a speeding fine use Waze. This app allows it’s large subscriber base to share real-time traffic alerts and road information in your area. Users will share cheeky information such as where the nearest and cheapest petrol station is located, the location of mobile speed traps or if there is a dead Deer on the road ahead.

The above are really the essentials app kit, there are many others but we suggest the fewer apps the less app clutter you will have.
