    We really need more signage on our highways. And I think the size of the NLEX's signs are ridiculously small! You have to be close to it to read it.

    I really get annoyed when I am driving at the maximum limit and a driver would turn on their high beam for me to move aside and let them pass and then they overtake and drive slower than I do. Highway driving is not about accelerating and decelerating which is just inconsistent driving. It's about driving consistently which is why cruise control got invented.

    Which lane do you occupy when they flash you?

    ^ It had better not be the passing lane. People driving at 100km/h are not supposed to be making babad in that lane! I for one get annoyed when I encounter slow vehicles hogging the fast lane who wouldn't move over when people flash at them. But when I do get pass them though, I make sure that I never see them again. :hysterical:

    daming ganito lalo na sa SLEX, nakaharang sa overtaking lane, di talaga alam kung panu gamit ng lane na yun. Akala talaga ng karamihan basta nasa 100kph ka pwede ka bumabad sa lane na yun Iwas na lang para di masira araw.

    Break-in! Hehehe!

    I really think that the leftmost lane should only have those folks who want to pass. Don't care if they drive faster than the max limit.

    Pero yes, nakakainis nga yung mga gustong mag-overtake pero saksakan ng bagal pa...

    Nanawa nadin ako kaka flash at busina sa mga yan, sobra dami nila, parang tuloy naiisip ko sila tama ako mali.

    Meron din tumatabi after several flashing then right after ko sila ma overtake balik ako sa kanan para ipaalam sa kanila yun ang tama. Pero pagkita ko sa rear mirror bumalik yung mokong sa passing lane.

    Meron din ako kasabayan mga mabibilis din na nag fa-flash sa mga mabagal at naiirita din pero babad din din sila sa kaliwa. Parang lumabas sa buong byahe ko ako lang ang di nagbababad sa passing lane

    I drive in the appropriate lane which I believe is the cruising (middle) lane. The thing is, a lot of people do drive at around 90 kph on the passing lane which makes the other drivers weave in and out.

    I drive everyday on the SLEx and this is almost a daily occurence for me. Sigh...

    On a side note, the middle lane is usually the safest lane to be on when you're on the expressway on the premise that if there's any emergency maneuver that you have to do, you can go either left or right.

    If a lot of NLEX drivers have a small idea of what the passing lane is for, SLEX drivers are even much worse.

    Lintek sa NLEX kanina. Sa outermost lane walang kalaman-laman, dun tuloy humataw yung Avanza ng PLDT.

    Daming passing lane hoggers as usual.

    Yeah, the rightmost lane turns out to be the passing lane coz the leftmost one is all bottled up

    mga few weeks ago, di ko makalimutan. may isang crosswind/adventure/basta auv type na nagbababad sa overtaking lane sa NLEX ng mga 90-100kmh. walang katabing mga kotse. so finlash siya ng suv ata o mabilis na sedan. lumipat naman sa middle lane. pero nung nakalampas yung nagoovertake, bumalik ba naman sa overtaking lane. walang kotse sa paligid.

mga tan*a sa superhighways
