US senators have pressed Google, Apple, and Blackberry maker Research in Motion to pull the plug on applications that can help drunk drivers use smartphones to elude police checkpoints.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and fellow Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer, Frank Lautenberg and Tom Udall urged the high-tech giants to stop selling the software unless it is stripped of the drunk-driving feature.

"We appreciate the technology that has allowed millions of Americans to have information at their fingertips, but giving drunk drivers a free tool to evade checkpoints, putting innocent families and children at risk, is a matter of public concern," they wrote in a letter released by Reid's office.

"We hope that you will give our request to make these applications unavailable immediate consideration," they wrote.

The applications rely on driver-generated databases of speed traps, speed cameras, or even drunk driving checkpoints and include audible alerts.
