App Shames Bad Drivers Publicly

A Russian online newspaper is leading a crusade against bad drivers by publicly humiliating them online. The Parking Douche app enables users to take photos of badly-parked cars, type in its description and licence number and send it to the newspaper. A pop-up will then appear on the site for those in the vicinity of the offending car, showing the car in the hope that it will be recognised by the owner or a friend. The only way to remove the pop-up is to share the photo of the car on Facebook, thus highlighting the offence further. The app has already won several awards, including the Grand Prix at the Golden Drum Awards.
