Subject: Safety Concern Regarding Waze Prompts During Hazardous Driving Conditions

On the morning of 18 May, we were on our way to Choa Chu Kang Peace Garden to pay our respects to my late mother on her first anniversary. It was raining heavily, and visibility was severely affected. I was fully focused on driving safely through the downpour.

During this time, the Waze GPS system repeatedly prompted me to confirm information it had picked up. Despite the poor driving conditions, these prompts continued without pause, which proved to be extremely distracting and dangerous. It diverted my attention at a time when it was critical to stay focused on the road.

I would like to highlight that such persistent prompts, especially in hazardous weather which can compromise driver safety and potentially lead to accidents. I strongly urge your team to consider implementing a feature that minimizes or suspends non-essential prompts while the vehicle is in motion, particularly during inclement weather or reduced visibility.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope this feedback helps enhance road safety for all Waze users.
