Waze, Community Force For Good I’m hooked on Waze. This app has changed the way I drive for the absolute better and it has grouped a community to become a force for good! I’m going to hook you with the following reasons for why you should become a Wazer! You’re going to love this! 1. Hiding police cars? Not anymore! My favorite part of using Waze is blowing police officers hidden locations by marking them whenever I see them! This also means that my fellow Wazers mark the police car locations (as well as whenever they’re no longer in that location anymore..). This makes me a more knowledgeable, empowered and prepared (thus, happy) driver. 2. Update Your Friends on Your ETA! My favorite use of Waze with my husband is sending each other locations and route ETAs when one of us is driving to go meet the other. Let’s say, I’m driving to the airport and want to keep Angel updated without messing with my phone (I’m driving, duhh!). First off, he will be pleased when I’m showing right on time since I planned the drive previously and was alerted when to leave the house. He can basically then track me until our lips meet again! It’s also great for road tripping with friends! It's really fun to beep each other too!   3. Waze Saves Lives (and Time)! Waze notifies us and changes our routes if bad traffic or a crash is reported. This leads to fewer accidents and has saved us on time in the past as well! Wazers report debris in the road and hazards, so we actually are forewarned to change lanes if something has been reported up ahead. There’s even a feature that allows Wazers to comment on the current state of a reported crash.
