Traditional paper notes depend entirely on written words, which can be vague, easily misunderstood, or fail to capture the full scope of a situation. Without visual proof, it’s tough to gauge the seriousness or details of an issue, often leading to confusion, disagreements, or missed opportunities to resolve problems amicably.
For instance, a note stating ‘Your car is blocking mine’ leaves out critical details—how badly is it blocked? Is there any damage? Likewise, a mention of a ‘scratch’ could range from a faint mark to a deep gouge, leaving the recipient unsure of how urgent the matter is or what action to take. This ambiguity muddies the waters of communication.
Such uncertainty doesn’t just annoy drivers—it can escalate minor hiccups into major disputes. Misinterpretations about an issue’s nature or severity can spark unnecessary arguments or even legal battles, making it clear that a more thorough and transparent method of communication is sorely needed.
