Abstract:
This disclosure proposes an app-based system that allows you to send a text message, anonymously, to inform another person of any issues you see that they may not be aware of.

Background:
Do you ever drive and notice something about other drivers or their cars around you that you want to let the driver know about? Like gas cap is open, blinker is on, something is dragging, etc.

This app uses location base in near proximity to allow you to select who you want to send a text anonymously, to alert the other drivers of any issues you see that they may not know about.

Once you are out of the range, it will automatically remove history of messages, so it can't be traced.

Description:
This is app-based system where it shows other drivers around you with touch icon that you can select to send a text message, anonymously, to inform them of any issues you see that they may not be aware of.

It may help prevent accidents that could occur (like tire going flat, etc).

This is one-time, real-time based texting app, so once you are out of the range of that driver where text was sent, it will automatically remove history of the text, so it cannot be tracked/traced.  

This application can also be used in store settings, where shopper can use the app to locate nearby store associate to ask a quick question, without having to find them or hunt one down.

It can also be used at theme parks to look for nearby workers or officers, in the event of an emergency
