I routinely will disregard the Waze route recommendation and will take less traveled roads because I hate to have to rely on other drivers being always aware of their surroundings. I want Waze to recommend the less stressful route as an option. I trust my driving but I stress out with other drivers and will take side streets and leave the highway just to have a "safer" drive. I try to avoid backups on freeways as this contributes to the potential accident due to distracted drivers.
