A brand new social app called Karmatic is designed to bring together the community of drivers.
Anyone who's ever driven on the highway will have been in a situation where they found themselves frustrated or downright livid at the actions of another driver. Now, thanks to the Karmatic social app, drivers can put their money where their mouth is and actually rate other drivers on a scale of 1-10. What's more, drivers can also exchange messages with other drivers in the form of text notes as well as audio voice messages.
This social app could be useful in situations such as finding out that someone's parked too close to you, or if you want to alert a driver that their brake lights aren't working.
