In my case it was the reverse... coming home from Baguio last Satruday.. I was on the middle (slow) lane.. driving my lumbering van... inilawan at binusinahan pa ako.... slow lane nga eh.....haaay....
It is not up to you to enforce the speed limit. The passing lane is a passing lane and the faster vehicle has the right of way. Even if I'm doing 140kph++ running lights and siren and a sports car is rapidly closing in behind me, I would still let it pass. Hindi naman contest iyan. Just let them through. But I also expect the same courtesy from vehicles that are slower than me.

Actually, people are starting to learn to pull over and yield to faster vehicles. Some not all but a big improvement from the driving scenarios say circa 1997.
Just remember: Vehicle on the passing lane approaching from behind with left turn signal flashing means it is on a speed run and you better get out of the passing lane.
Flashing lights also mean yield the right of way.
Combination of both with matching horn blaring means the vehicle in front is a total idiot and should not be allowed to drive in the first place.

much worst if nasa passing lane un mga truck na tumatakbo beyond 100kph sa NLEX, marami dyan diskumpyado ako sa mga gulong, as in talagang pinapalayo ko sila baka mamaya pumutok bigla accident waiting to happen, nakatsamba na ako once na pumutok ang gulong good thing na control nya saka un debris ng gulong di naman tumama sa car namin
ako experience kong ganito sa NLEX, nasa middle lane lang ako cruising at 90kph, sobrang bagal nung nasa harapan ko na FX, parang 70 lang ata takbo so o-overtake ako sa left lane, pa overtake pa lang ako, may sportivo sa likod ko bigla na mga 6 cars ang layo saken galing din sa middle lane, flash ng flash ng headlight, eh pa speed up pa lang ako kase galing lang ako sa 90kph eh, di sya nakapag intay na maka overtake ako para makabalik sa lane ko. dapat balik ako sa middle lane after ko maunahan yung FX, pero di ko ginawa, pinalapit ko yung crosswind mga 2 cars ang layo sa likod ko tsaka ako humataw ng konti mga 160kph, ayun nawala bigla sa likod ko. kung maka flash kala mo mauubusan ng kalsada, makupad naman.
nakakainis yung kase iba, di malaman kung tanga ba, umo-overtake ka pa, flash ng flash kagad, di makapag antay na makalagpas ka sa ino-overtake-an mo. walang utak eh.

^ Yabang naman nyang naka sportivo. Alam nya ba kung hangang saan lang ang max speed ng sportivo?
Dami ngang kupal dyan hindi alam kung ano ang purpose ng passing lane, yung iba naman eh sobra kung makababad porket nasa max speed na daw., saksakan talaga ng bobo.
Fortunately may kasama akong driver pag pumunta ako ng Manila before, kaya iwas stress. Si driver naman wala lang paki-alam para lang nag slalom racing pag dumadaan dyan sa NLEX pag may kupal na nakaka babad sa passing lane.
This also happend to me on slex last saturday, a white crosswind was on the fast lane at 60 kph. I was behind him waiting for him to turn right to another lane. Suddenly a red crv instantly makes " tutok" to my back endlessly flashing and honking. Finally crosswind merged right and in to me being picon i sped to 120 kph because no one was in front of me. It ended with the crv being very far away from me.
Crosswind ba kamo? At Sportivo?...
Aba e kaya flash ng flash ng headlights iyan,- natakot mawalan ng buwelo (na hindi naman nangyari base sa kuwento mo).
Because it would take them another lifetime to be in that speed again.... :hysterical::peace:

Yung iba naman, akala siguro excused sila sa speed limits, kung mamalagi sila sa overtaking lane.![]()
One of the reasons kaya nagbababad ang iba sa passing lane kasi, say 4 lanes like in south tollways. May poor road conditions doon sa 3 outer lanes sa long stretch ( I don't know, kulang ata sa maintenance ang Mates). As such, kahit na yung mababagal nasa innermost lane. Ako hindi, after passing/overtaking a slower vehicle, I make it a point to change to outer lane if circumstances permits. Dinadaga din dibdib ko dyan sa overtaking lane (innermost) kasi iniisip ko na baka may mag-overshoot na vehicle on the opposite lane. Marami nang accident na ganyan ang nagyari sa slex.
^ oo nga dun sa third lane meron dun di inaayos medyo malalim pati lubak lubak pag nakaligtaan ko at dun ako sa lane na yun napapakabig ako ng todo buti walang kasabay, kaya minsan dun ako sa tabi ng passing lane nagbababad. umiiwas ako sa third lane dahil baka bumaliktad pa sinasakyan ko lalim ng lubak eh, 80 pa naman minimum na takbo ko sa slex
What's new? Substandard roads and highways ... Ignorant, un-educated drivers ... Long time problems.
Save yourselves from stress ladies and gentlemen, and just learn to adapt as it will always be like that come hell or high water.![]()
I did notice that driver discipline at NLEX has deteriorated, most especially slowpokes driving on the overtaking lane & refusing to move despite flashing lights or honking horns. I emailed MNTC about this & suggested they embark on driver education by handing out flyers at the tollbooths but they have not replied. It's disappointing to pay the toll only to suffer from clueless drivers.
This week lang, four times akong dumaan ng SLEX. Ganun pa rin mga ugali ng driver. :um:
Beep + flash continuously ang ginagawa ko para tumabi sila. Some do veer away from the overtaking lane, pero mostly hinde. Hinde ko alam bakit, 80kph lang takbo nila pero nasa overtaking lane sila. At 80kph you can barely overtake anything :bwahaha:
Pero eto malupet, there was this one Urvan along slex travelling slowly (~70-80kph) at the middle lane when suddenly he switches to the overtaking lane for no effing reason. Wala naman kotse sa paligid niya. :hammer: Beep ulit + flash ako pero wala pa rin. So inovertakean ko nalang siya. Tsk tsk.
Dapat i-post na rin dito yang mga yan. Parang sa stupid parking lang.![]()
