Nlex..bright..

kung ako ang nasa situation ni TS, i'll just give way dun sa sasakyan sa likod ko basta ba free sa middle lane lilipat ako. but if not i'll stick to the fast lane and let the car behind me find it's way to overtake lalo kung me sinusundan naman ako at the same speed sa fast lane..

it would be annoying if the car behind me gives a light and horn simultaneously, lalo kung me sinusundan din akong car sa fast lane... but i wouldn't resort on giving way then doing the same to the car who did it to you.. para kasi you're provoking into a road rage which can result in a tragic death specially cruising on the fast lane..

tama.. just give way kung free.. di naman kabawasan ng pagkalalake ng isang tao yung mailawan ta maovertakean di ba??

road safety comes first especially when you have passengers with you..

If the guy in front of you is sticking to the left lane and not overtaking anyone... it's your responsibility to move the dork over... I-brights mo din.

If you're in a logjam on the left-lane, forget it. Pull over to the right and wait for it to clear, or overtake on the right. Overtaking on the right side is not illegal, mind you. Overtaking on the shoulder is. Just exercise due care.

What's irritating is those people who merge all the way to the left when traffic is clear... F***ing idiots...

The left lane is not the "FAST LANE". It is the "OVERTAKING LANE". Ideally bawal mag babad. pag wala ng sasakyan sa 2nd inner lane, lipat na. Signal muna baka maisipan na duon mag over take ang nasa likod.

I have some in-dash videos of those left lane zombies. Our roof lamps and dash strobes were already on the dorks won't even budge. We switch on the sirens (Whelen 300HF, same model as the PSG) pero ang titigas pa din ng mukha.

And this was in a fully marked vehicle.

If they didn't move, we would have called the NLEX Control Tower already and have the vehicle apprehended.

Rule of thumb is always give way to the faster vehicle. This holds true when I'm driving at 70kph or 170kph. There will always be someone faster so better get the hell out of the way.

This happens often.
Its a good habit to see traffic 5-10 cars away para you wont get stuck, parang lumulutang ka until you assess the best approach instead of sumuisksik ka. In F1 appoach nila minsan ay mag pitstop.
1st and 2nd lane from isle are always loaded
Kaya lagi ako nasa 3rd lane ng Nlex.
Cruising speed no stress and relaxed.

Pag sa baha naman kung SUV ka dont follow the lane with cars, follow where the bus and medium trucks are going kasi sila ang tatawid. Once you realize this late you will be stuck in traffic for a long long time. Ang maganda pag truck ang nasa harap mo hahawiin niya ang tubig for you, but still look 5 vehicles ahead kung may tumirik na truck.

aba, kung ako pala ang nasa likod ni ts, eh iilawan ko din talaga siya. si ts naman, responsibility niya na ilawan ang nasa harap niya. pag ayaw talaga magrespond, no choice kundi mag give way na siya.

kagaya last sunday. may inovertake ako. so mabilis takbo ko. malalaman ko nalang sa nlex, may kotseng mabagal sa unahan ko. wala ako magawa kundi ilawan siya ng ilawan. ilang beses ako nag-flash pero ayaw niya tumabi. so, tingin nalang ako sa kanan kung libre para makapasok. ayun, libre naman kaya inunahan ko nalang yun sasakyan na yun

minsan naman nakita ng paparating ka sasabayan pa ng overtake..
kunwari nasa right lane siya tapos ikaw nasa left at mabilis ka tapos biglang papasok sa left lane.. para umovertake dun sa nasa unahan niya.. tendency nun bigla ka magbreak kahit 120kph na takbo mo..tapos sila oovertake ng 80kph

To TS;

What the driver from the vehicle behind you is considerable because the left most lane is supposed to be the fast overtaking lane. He did what is necessary to inform you to move out of the way or else speed up then shift to the next right lane since you are driving in an express way.

This is the problem here in the philippines...most driver just simply driving but lack of knowledge in road rules and regulations but still have the guts to complain. I always encounter everyday this kind of scenario because this is the result of issuing a license to every one without a proper schooling. If the LTO do a strict compliance in issuing a license, maybe there will be less discussion like this...

Ride Safe.

tsaka ano ginagawa ng TS sa likod ng mabagal sa innermost lane? eh sayang lang oras mo tumutok dun to the point na abutan ka ng fort, baka madamay ka pa in case bus ang tumutok sa inyo at pinahan kayo or tuluyan kayo.

ako i don't flash, pag mabagal ang nasa harap instead na turuan ng lesson, nilalagpasan ko na lang. ingat lang rin baka timing-an ka na lumabas rin siya sa lane at sabitan ka naku, pagtatawanan kayo ng fort sa likod
