    for me the 100 kph speed limit is already reasonable.

    If you need to be somewhere on time, plan ahead and wake up early.

    Besides road conditions, length & width in the Phils. is still not up to par for high speed driving.

    ano man ang speed limit dapat sundin ang tamang paggamit ng highway/motorway. Kung sa Pilipinas ano man ang speed mo always keep on the rightmost lane. Gamitin lang ang next lane (left lane) kung mag-oovertake then balik uli sa right lane pagka-overtake. Wala namang problema kung mabagal ang takbo mo sa highway basta nasa tama ka lang lane, syempre pag kita mong mabagal ang nasa una mo at mabilis ang takbo mo syempre dapat change lane ka agad kung clear to avoid slowing down.

    speed limit here is 70mph sa motorway pero ilan lang ang sumusunod.

    i agree...there's just too many idiots in philippine roads who make the main motorways very dangerous and slow moving. i used to work in sta. rosa while living in alabang. in my daily travel to work, i used the outer lane in most cases with 100~130kph because the inner most lane is full of vehicles that run * a max speed of 70kph.

    Speed limit was set to make our hiway safer. Pag ginawang 140 KPH ang limit, baka pati truck, jeepney, owner, buses, and other rolling coffins will test their speed limit which makes the road more dangerous. And lastly, 140 KPH is already uncontrollable speed. Nang binata pa ako 140 KPH ang speed limit pero ngayong pamilyado na ako, 80 KPH pa lang nabibilisan na ako.

    agree ako. Di ko nga alam kung hanggang saan ang kaya ng car ko eh, up to 70-80 mph lang ako, beyond that natatakot na ako.

    If our expressways are not so congested 100-120kph should be fine. But since our roads are not that long, not that smooth and full of slow moving cars that can be considered junk 80kph is safer. Fastest I've ever done was 180kph, but I was the only vehicle on the SLEX at that time as far as the eye can see...

    Opinion ko lang po..... at saka na po tayo mag-asam ng mas mataas na speed limit kapag mahaba na po ang kalsadang pagpapatakbuhan natin..... as it is mukhang less than 30kms lang yata ang mga highways natin. Isa pa pong opinion ko..... yung minimum speed limit muna ang itaas natin from 60 to 80km/h. Sanayin muna natin ang mga motorista natin sa high speed driving (Philippine standard). Alam naman po natin karamihan sa ating mga motorista ay wala o limited ang experience sa high speed driving. Ayusin ang mga kalsada.... iilan lang kasi ang kalsada nating maaring pagpatakbuhan ng mabilis..... safety must come first din kasi.

    Gawing stringent ang licensing, motor vehicle inspections (kahit up to the relatively lousy U.S. standards lang, no need to be like UK or Japan), and enforcement so we can all travel at high speed.

    Same here. Mabilis na sa akin yung 80kph. Pag SLEX, I can do 110, 120kph pero hindi ko dinadalasan. Sumasakit kasi yung batok ko sa sobrang excitement eh, baka matangay ako. Ayos na sa akin yung medyo leisurely pace.

    Medyo mahirap umabot ng 140kph sa SLEX overtake ka ng overtake nun kung gusto mo umabot ng 140kph sa skyway pwede pa kaso hulihin ka dun..hehe.para sa akin oks na sa akin ang 80kph pero kung sa NLEX hindi kulang pa ang 100kph dapat dun 120-140kph pwede pa for private cars yun ah....pero kung public transportation dapat at least 100kph sa nlex..
