Waze interrupting my music to inform me there's a pothole in the road ahead

I am aware, Waze. There are potholes fucking everywhere. You don't require to let know me.

Th problem isn’t Waze. It’s that Waze has to interrupt so much because of the _amount_ of potholes.

You can turn off sound alerts for hazards and take your chances instead. You can still have alerts for speed cameras and police turned on.

I need a warning that there’s a crater, potholes aren’t such an issue, but that sneaky crater hiding behind the speed bump is

it's the puddles. I can generally avoid the visible craters, but who knows what the fuck is hiding in the puddles...

Roads are so bad that it'd be more helpful to get alerted when there's *not* a pothole ahead. Looking at you Northamptonshire. Fucking dreadful state of the roads.

It just ends up being a joke about which pothole the alert is talking about and hitting still there before you even hit where the alert is because it will be there

Waze needs an update to tell you when there's a stretch without pot holes.

I was observing a driving test on Tuesday, Waze running in the background. Towards the end it says 'Pothole reported ahead' and I'm thinking the examiner would be annoyed at me for having it on during test. Instead she laughed and said "It could have bloody told us about the...

I love my Glasgow Jim voice but he does need silencing some times.

You can mute the warnings and enjoy your music uninterrupted but still have the pot hole warnings and all other warnings pop up on the screen in the settings

Just had to spend £220 on a new rear tire and spend 6 hours on a dark country road (a303 closed :-/ ) after hitting an absolute unit at only about 30mph

Thanks for reminding me to turn off those notifications. I also found how to turn off the notification for vehicle on the shoulder. I can’t find one for speed cameras only on average speed zones though.

Waze : "There's a pothole in the road" Me : \*looks at screen\* "SHUT UP!" \*collides with said pothole because of being distracted by the waze warning\*

Anything that interrupts my music whilst driving will be silenced.

If you're using Waze to avoid speed cameras, you could just not speed and you won't need to worry about it at all
