Can Life360 Help You Avoid a Speeding Ticket?

Families around the world use Life360 to ensure their loved ones’ safety because of its real-time location tracking and driving safety features. A common question posed by our users, however, relates to the scope of its utility: “Can Life360 help me get out of a speeding ticket?”

While the short answer is no, let’s explore why the app cannot be presented as evidence of your driving speed, and how you can instead use it to prevent getting pulled over in the first place.

Can Life360 Be Used to Prove Your Driving Speed?

If you are pulled over for allegedly driving over the speed limit, you might wonder if Life360’s tracking features could be viable proof of your actual speed. Unfortunately, no, the accuracy of speed and location information within the app, most of which is outside of Life360’s control, is not designed nor intended to be provided to traffic authorities, in order to support insurance claims, or for any other matters that may require proof of speed or location.

It’s important to note that law enforcement officers rely on their equipment or visual estimates when determining speed violations, and will not take Life360 over their own equipment.

Prevent Speeding in the First Place with Life360

Prevention, they say, is better than cure. This aphorism holds for speeding tickets as well. Life360 can play a crucial role in helping you avoid speeding in the first place:

• Real-Time Speed Alerts: Life360 can send real-time alerts if a driver is speeding, aiding in immediate correction.
• Driver Report: This feature generates comprehensive reports, including top speed, which can be a learning tool for safer driving habits.
• Location Sharing: This can ensure accountability, as family members can monitor each other’s driving behavior.

Being proactive and utilizing these features makes you less likely to be pulled over for exceeding the speed limit.
