Suggest Waze adds "Speeder/reckless driver spotted" tag

Post by ZippyPinhead
I love Waze but I expect the police don't. On today's 150 mile trip, Waze accurately notified me of at least a half-dozen.

Why not make the app "cop-friendly" and add a HUGE safety component as well with a "Speeder Report?" I had a guy blow by me at 100 MPH. Adding this feature would be like putting thousands of pairs of eyes on the roads.

Speeder Report? That's the job of CCTV/Speed Cameras and highway police, not Waze.

So let's do some thinking on that (btw... You've posted this in the wrong section...)
The rude driver had let's say, 100mp/h.
When you try to post those rude drivers... You'll need 4 seconds to report (when you're quite fast) in those 4secs he leaves ~680ft. behind him. Thats in 15 mins (that's the time a report will last) 153.000ft or 29 mi. (There's some calculation mismatch. Must be 25mi. - I was converting from metric to US :) but that not important. I guess you got my point)
Question: Does it really make sense to report that?
;)
