Can people see my speed?

Post by
I'm am new to waze and think it is a cool idea. I was wondering the information that is stored and relayed to others. Like if I'm speeding or not. I would hate for a cop to log in and see that I'm speeding down the hiway and decides to wait for me.

It has been, and I believe, successfully.

I suppose Waze calculates your average speed over a number of segments. Which leads to a lower Speed displayed on the client, if another Wazer is looking at you.

The highest it says is over 40mph so I wouldn't worry. Besides, what court would allow waze as evidence of speeding?

Although this speed was 100% legal, I think my speed was still reported to others as "more than 40 km/h". Looking at the current live map, I don't see any speeds reported above 55, which is way to slow for freeways. Furthermore these speeds are only rough figures and appear delayed. So no need to worry, that anyone's gonna catch you speeding through Waze even if some Muppet Show court on this planet would accept that as a legal proof.
You shouldn't be speeding nevertheless!

What person would provide Waze as evidence for not speeding?

You can check your speed from the previous trips function but I would never use it in court... ;)

It just gives your speed as say under 50mph it never says what your actual speed is
