The Drive screen is the whole point of WhySoSlow. Tap Start to begin a session and Stop to end it. There are no destinations and nothing to tap while you’re moving — you glance, you know, you drive.

​
Your speed and the limit, side by side

The display shows two things next to each other:
  • Your current speed, in km/h, straight from GPS.
  • The limit in force as a road-sign roundel — the posted limit for the road you’re on, taken from map data and your own edits.
Near a camera, the roundel switches to the camera’s own enforced limit and shows a small camera badge. If a camera’s enforced limit isn’t published, the roundel keeps showing the posted limit with the badge.

​
Colour tells you where you stand

Your speed number changes colour so you never have to do the maths:
1

Under the limit — calm

At or below the posted limit, your speed reads in the normal colour. Nothing beeps.
2

Over the limit — amber

The moment you’re over the posted limit, your speed turns amber. This is information, not an alarm — there’s no sound.
3

Fineable — red

Once you cross Ukraine’s +20 km/h line — where a fine actually becomes possible — your speed turns red with a single, short beep. One beep on crossing, never a nagging loop.
Ukraine only fines speeding at more than +20 km/h over the limit. WhySoSlow keys its red alert to that fineable line by default, so it warns you when it matters instead of nagging at every +1 km/h.

​
Settings you can tune

In Settings → Driving:
  • Warn above limit by — the threshold for the red, fineable alert. The default is +20 km/h; set it lower (down to every km/h over) if you want an earlier warning.
  • Alert sound — the tone used for alerts. Camera warnings and overspeed use distinct sounds so you can tell them apart without looking.

​
The map

The map is a follow-map: it tracks your position and heading and keeps the road you’re on lit up. It auto-switches between day and night for a high-contrast, glanceable display, and stays awake while a session is running. You can recenter and zoom, but you never need to — it’s built to be read at a glance, not operated.
