Just came across an app in beta testing - Total Traction:

Cool ... keep us posted if you can ... would love to hear how the beta is going.

Yeah sure. They said I'd get an email in the first week of February if I got accepted into the beta. I'll let you know then....

Oh gosh, this app is going to need a huge disclaimer to dodge litigation in this country. I can just see some idiot driving too fast for the conditions just because his app tells him he has adequate traction. "But, Total Traction said I was fine!..."

Hahah, my thoughts exactly, however the app itself does look rather interesting...I applied for beta as well.
