    nung pumunta kami sa hot air balloon fiesta last feb. 10 mababait mga driver sa NLEX, cguro dahil madaling araw nung asa NLEX kami(around 4AM), puro biyahero mga nasa kalye kaya alam ang rules sa NLEX, pag overtake sa innermost lane, balik sa kanan agad kahit nasa 100-110kph na takbo.

    It's just sad na madami pa din sa mga drivers natin ang nagmamarunong.

    Actually masarap kasama yung mga ganyan na driver. I recall one late evening on my way north encountering a Rav4 who was keeping pace with me. When the road opened up we both punched it hard but we kept a safe distance between us. When we reached a "pack" of cars we would slow down and keep pace until we pass before we punch it again; when we switched lanes we would still signal, pag may nauna, nagbibigayan... and so on.

    hindi lang natiyempuhan yung ford driver. may nakita na kong hinuli ng patrol (hilux 4x4)... red vios, cruising sa fast lane, tinabihan ng patrol(medyo ahead ng isang car yung vios), after ilang seconds nung hindi pa bumabalik, ayun pinatabi na sa gilid... natawa na lang ako... ang tagal pa nga niyang tumabi, pakiramdaman pa... nagtataka siguro kung anong violation...

    Mukhang pareho tayo ng obserbasyon bro.... Kami rin pag bumibiyahe pa-norte ng madaling araw,- maaayos at magagalang ang nakakasabay namin sa NLEX.... Siguro nga ay beteranong mga biyahero ang mga ito kaya ganoon ang disiplina sa kalye...

    i drive more on slex than nlex and based on my observation, i feel comfortable driving sa nlex maybe because of the road and there are more discipline drivers compare sa slex..

    hi everyone!

    napaka informative ng forum na ito, especially sa mga katulad ko na bago pa lang sa driving.

    I have some questions sana..

    san ba ako makakakuha ng traffic rules info sa NLEX, like speed limit, san ako pede magstay na lane lalo na if medyo mabagal at kabado sa expressway, ano ba minimum na speed limit sa NLEX?

    we plan kasi na magpunta sa subic this weekend, and this is my very first time to use expressway, nadadaan ako sa C5 pero till 40-50kph lang speed ko.. 1 month pa lang ako sa driving kaya medyo kakaba kaba pa. hehehe..

    your input is very much appreciated.

    I think I'm thinking too conservatively here but I don't think it's a good idea to do a long drive when you're only learning how to drive...

    Let a more experienced driver to all the driving and observe...

    Oh and hope he has the right driving habits... :-)

    Same rules sa regular na kalsada. Like yung broken at solid lines. The rest makikita mo naman na don.

    i suggest wag muna ikaw ang magdrive... magpadrive ka na lang sa more experience driver.

    Mahihirapan ka pa lalo paglagpas mo nang sta rita exit... dun sa may tulay na mahaba na 2lanes lang... madami mabibilis na car dun at baka mataranta ka mabangga kapa.

    kung sana ikaw lang ang madisgrasya baka makadamay kapa

    Minsan rin may "Rolling Roadblock" ( a police formation; occupy all lanes in the roadway at constant speed) para Need for Speed undercover tuloy sa skyway hirap mag overtake sa kabagalan nila....

    Naku dami ganyan sa NLEX ang sarap, kalimitan mga AUV (assembled), sarao type na ginawang pang karga, lumang sasakyan in other words mga driver na natuto mag drive sa probinsya. Ginagawa ko sa mga yan non stop honking plus headlight

    What is it with the NLEX, that when people pass the major toll plaza southbound, they suddenly lose all discipline when it comes to staying out of the overtaking lane? Diba parte pa rin ng Expressway yun?

    Heh, huli na 'to, but I'd have to agree with the other posters. If you've never driven over 50 kph, it'd be best not to drive along NLEX - the minimum speed limit is 60kph, which you've not driven at before; and the expressway isn't really the best place to do it for the first time, especially kung kabado ka pa.

    yan ang transistion area from disciplined driving to balasubas driving style. kasi after ng nlex, mga balasubas na ang makakasabay mo. kaya kailangang mapractice ka na ulit. baka nakalimutan mo na kung paano mag drive ng balasubas.

    joke.

    :rofl01: Parang ganun na nga ang nangyayari - pagbalik sa Manila, parang nakakapanibago nga yung mga balasubas na driver

    Errrr.... sa Subic po ang punta nila, hindi sila makararating sa Sta. Rita exit ng NLEX.

    Pero agree ako, kung baguhan, observe muna niya yung more experienced driver.

    Re: limits -- Hindi ka ba nag-review bago kumuha ng driver's license? NLEX is just another road in the Philippine road network, hence it uses the standard indicators like broken white lines, broken yellow lines, solid white lines, solid yellow lines, signs for minimum and maximum speeds (there is no FIXED minimum and maximum for the entire length of NLEX -- in fact, some portions remind motorists to observe 80KPH as maximum speed).

    Download mo 'to for a review:

    Ayaw talaga siya payagang magdrive papuntang Subic o. Haha.

    Ang problema ko lang naman dito sa NLEX yung mga bumababad sa overtaking lane eh, akala siguro nila angbilis bilis na nila.

    ang hirap sa mga drivers na bumababad dito sa overtaking lane, ayaw pang tumabi kahit iniilawan mo na.
