Ride Along 🛞
Padvark is fully self-funded. If it matters to you, help keep it on the road.
I started Padvark because I have lost too many people I know on our roads to drivers who don't follow the rules. My family and I have had far too many close calls in our own car. Padvark is my way of doing something about it: giving every road user a voice against the road hogs who put us all at risk.
Padvark has no investors, no company and no ads. It's one person, and a community that has had enough. Servers, maps, traffic data and emails all cost money every month, and right now I cover all of it myself.
If Padvark has made you feel heard, or you simply want safer roads for the people you love, you can ride along with any amount you choose.
Ride Along is for Padvark members, so nobody's real name or email ever shows. Sign in (or sign up) and you'll come straight back here.

Where does your support go? 🧾
- 🖥️ Website hosting: the servers, storage and bandwidth that keep Padvark online day and night.
- 🛠️ Development: new features, fixes and keeping the site fast and secure.
- 👀 Moderation: the hours spent checking every report before it goes live, so Padvark stays fair and accurate.
- 🤝 Building partnerships: connecting with road safety organisations, authorities and companies to drive the cause further.
- 🗺️ Maps, traffic data and emails: the services behind live traffic, address maps and your notifications.
The unofficial budget 😉
- 😤 My anger management sessions, after reviewing yet another BMW without indicators.
- ☕ Coffee. Lots of it. Moderating road hogs at midnight doesn't run on good intentions.
- 🦷 Dental work, for all the teeth I've ground at four-way stops.
- 🔊 A new hooter. The old one is worn out.
