WAZE gives allota false alarms.

never experienced this. Waze might still show an accident or object on the side of the road etc for a while after it has moved if no other user tells Waze it is no longer there, but the traffic speed is a sure sign and that is far less likely to be spoofed.

^ actually stopped using it for a while, because where WAZE indicated there were speed traps, by the time i get there, there is nothing.

Open the chat and press the menu button on the top right and you will see mute.

I think people see police driving on the road minding their own business and they input a sighting. But of course, the police driving, so by the time you reach the spot where the police were tagged, they're already 10kms away...

"False alarm"

Hmm why don't you all just obey the speed limit law but as most trinis always looking for a short cut that is what is wrong with the society today so when you all get your speeding ticket don't complain you work hard to get it have a great and safe day guys

[Les Bain]

So for this thread to be effective you have to monitor it while driving?

Hey, I am a proponent of staying under 80Kmph, but there are a few times I do go over the limit. If I have to overtake, I floor my accelerator , overtake and then coast back to normal speed on the left lane. If I happen to cross 80kmph while coasting down the hill at either Point-a_piere, Claxton bay or Couva, I will not tap on my brakes to slow down and irritate other drivers behind me. Knowing when and where the police road blocks are is beneficial to even those typically driving below the limit because of the ridiculously small margin for error where they are issuing tickets. Though I do not fault the police from enforcing the speed limit, enforcing a rigid ceiling of 80Kmph is basically telling everyone to drive at 70kmph as there is no room for error or slight variations in speed or traffic/ road conditions. If you want to drive on the razor edge of the limit, it is best to know where the blocks are so you can reduce speed.
