JEREMY CLARKSON
A Modest Proposal: Jeremy Clarkson for Waze Voice Navigation
Dear Waze Team,
Let’s cut to the chase — Waze is brilliant. But you know what would make it truly exceptional?
Jeremy Clarkson.
Not just as a voice. As a driving philosophy. Imagine:
“Turn left... or don’t. I’m not your mother.”
“Traffic ahead. Caused, presumably, by a Prius.”
“You've arrived. It's no racetrack, but it'll do.”
"In 200 meters Turn left-- unless you drive a beige Volvo. In which case, please stay home"
Clarkson is the voice of speed, sarcasm, and barely-contained road rage — everything a morning commute needs. Give us what the roads (and humanity) deserve.
Kind regards,
Certified Petrolhead & Waze Enthusiast

I have Clarkson Hammond and May in my waze from way back (inherited to my new iphone) There is a link somewhere to a file you can put in your phone and waze can open it. I get gems like "The grand tour is not responsible for bad directional advice OR the smell coming from your glovebox" and "Yes, you've cocked it up - turn around" and "(Hammond) I bet this is the first time you've heard a navigational system argue with itself (Clarkson) No it isn't"

Back around 2018(?) In South Africa Waze had a voice pack with Jeremy, Richard and James. I'm not sure if its still available as I'm no longer living there, but it was epic at the time. I wish that voicepack was made available to the UK at least.
Regarding this suggestion, I'd definitely use a Jeremy Clarkson voicepack! -

I wouldn't use it, but I certainly think it's a good idea... Probably be banned in some countries though.
