Poll: Dangerous cars on the Expressway

[meledson]

To give credit to us, doon sa NLEX, mas may manners na mga drivers doon.

Agree on this one. Saka pag nagflash ka sa mga sasakyang mabagal na nasa left lane sa 2-lane sections ng NLEX, kakanan kadalasan, di gaya sa EDSA or SLEX na kahit anong flash mo walang paki. Walang issue with regards to speed as long as you're not overspeeding, ang issue e kung san talaga dapat luminya na di magawa-gawang maipaalam sa mga motorista.

Is it manners or implemented kasi sa NLEX na overtaking lane lang ang innermost lane?

May alam ako na nahuli na dyan sa NLEX kasi nag babad siya sa innermost lane na walang ino-overtake. Naikewento nya lang sa akin. Now, kahit solo nya ang daan, wala siya sa innermost lane.

napansin ko mas civilized driver sa NLEX then madali malaman san lane ka pupwesto unlike sa SLEX medyo di maganda kalsada compared sa NLEX patag di laspag kotse mu mahal nga lang toll

[userfriendly]

I drive on SLEX a lot. For me the most dangerous drivers are truck and bus drivers. Specially the ones that swerve in and out of lanes recklessly and those that insist on staying on the fast lane when they are doing less than 60 kmh.

agree ako na mas maganda ang byahe papuntang NLEX at mas desiplinado kasi ako every month umuuwi sa pangasinan from manila,kaso yung huli siguro sa speed tyempuhan lang sir...pero mas maganda parin drive safely diba!!

[_Qwerty_]

malupit talaga dyan sa SLEX.. ewan ko kung bakit pinapayagan nila dyan yung mga walang break lights.. grabe naman yung mga driver na yun, ilaw lang di pa mapalitan!

[landlord]

Grabe ang mga trucks sa SLEX after truck ban. Meron mabagal sa fast lane, me mabilis sa middle and sabayan pa ng bus na oovertake sa shoulder. Kanya kanya sila. Yung mabagal naman sa fast lane, pag nag flash ka, nagtataka pa kung bakit ka nagflash at galit pa. Shows their ignorance about proper driving. Kasi thru fixer lang naka kuha ng license.

Pero sa NLEX, trucks usually stay in their proper place.

[teeyoh]

frequent route ko ang slex. driving nowadays is becoming hazardous since on-going yung expansion project from alabang all the way to canlubang. daming incident ngayun lalo na kung inclement weather, isip ko nga parang lugi sa toll fee kasi traffic din and two years after matapos expect na mag-increase uli. to top it all nandyan pa kasabayan mo mga trucks at buses especially the fish jeepneys at mga dhl/ups vans na laging nagmamadali.

drive safely

Well, 2 days ago nasa Makiling ako heading back to Q.C. It was 10pm nung nasa SLEX ako. First, there was a truck that was swerving in the slow lane(in his lane lng naman) pero nakakatakot dahil kung nachempohan mo at pag pass mo BOOM! So I blasted him with the horn. And then there was this bus who cut me sabay swerve to the shoulder to overtake the cars in front of me. Then the third was just like the the first.

Well to me, as a teen driver, pinaka abusado ung mga bus and trucks zooming in and out, kala mo sports car. Kung may nakaharang sa harap, good luck na lng. Especially ung mga nakikita ko na itim na lumalabas sa exhaust and wla na tread ung mga gulong.

As I said, I am a teen driver so naturally "medyo" mabilis ako tumakbo. Pero I make sure that nobody is bothered with my maneuvers. I don't swerve left to right without warning, I don't brake late, I don't change my lane unless if the car in the other lane I'm taking is about 5 cars length away from me(unlike ung iba na wla pa 1 car length pumapasok na sa lane, causing the other car to brake like a certain buddy of mine...), and specially I know when enough is enough! Parang nung 2 days ago, low visibility ko; di ko na makita ung grass island ng SLEX, slow down ako. Pero meron parin mga sira-ulo na tuloy parin ang ratrat!

So for me, Ung trucks talaga at ung buses. At minsan mga normal everyday cars.

Pero eto lng and view ko sa mga rumaratrat. Well to the enthusiast na rumaratrat like there's no tomorrow anyway.(including bus drivers and truck drivers who know their vehicle like tha back of their hand)

They think they know their car and it's capabilities. And most of the time they do. They also think that they know the minimum capabilities of the cars they encounter on the road. And most of the time they're right. But they almost always forget that most of the time, the other drivers don't know what they know.

[teeyoh]

...and never be near with speeding trailer trucks loaded with container.

p.s. mods: kind permission to post.

[Horsepower]

parang SUV yun nasa unahan na napisat ah.

Naisip ko na yan, kaya lagi akong iwas sa mga trailer na may karga. Nakapatong lang kasi yan e.

[meledson]

Sa SLEX daming trucks na walang brake lights. Ilan beses na rin ako na nagugulat na naka preno na pala, napapa slam ka tuloy sa preno.

After 9 biglang naglalabasan ang mga trucks, sabay pa ang mga bus na walang paki alam pag nag change ng lane.

Sa C5 pa SLEX, dami ng mga trucks at around past 8, para 9 nasa SLEX na sila. Pag maaga pa, ang babagal.

Hmm, wala pa me nakitang nahuli sa mga few bastos na natitira. Pero, I guess dahil nga sa enforcement kaya may manners.

Kulang nalang sa NLEX, repeal of speed limits.

[josechoyjose]

Dapat limited sa 60kph ang mga truck at 80kph ang mga bus. Ipagbawal ang PUJ at mga bulok na sasakyan. Itaas ang max speed sa 120kph pati ang min speed sa 80kph.

sa tingin ko delikado ang 120kph sa "lapad" ng daan ng highway natin brod. di naman long stretches ang highway natin at hindi malalapad ang pagitan ng sasakyan. pwede ka ngang makipag high five sa katabi mong sasakyan eh :D

pansinin mo in your usual setting na umaga drive sa SLEX with moderate traffic, pag nagdrive ka ng 80km/hr walang kinaiba ito sa 100km/hr at kaunti lang ang lamang ng naka 120km/hr sa naka sustained 60-80km/hr. chances are iyong 100km/hr kasi masusustain lang nya kasi iyon ng 10 seconds (swerte pa nga pag naka 10) eh tapos baba na naman sya. mabagal sa pakiramdam pero iyong nakikita mong nagmamabilis at nag aahas sa daan eh pansinin mo di ganun kalayo ang tinakbo nila, mapapansin mo ito pag dating sa toll booth at sa mga traffic stops pag lagpas na ng highway.

i was driving to manila to go to a friends wedding, at nlex (bulacan area) everycar are driving at the same speed of 80-100kph. there was this honda(cant remember the model) swerving in and out of the lanes. racing for no reason, anyone see fast & the furious (i,ii,iii). and thinking he must be in a hurry(in need of toilet, i guess) and he was driving dangerously, imagine he crashed at any car and be involved in the worst pile up in nlex.worst thing that could happen to any innocent driver because of some st*pid careless driving, hes endangering everyones lives.

[claRkEnt]

Just this afternoon at NLEX, a black Chrysler 300C with an 8 front plate (rear plate bearing ZJD 5**) weaving left and right including at shoulder (and not even bothering to use his signal lights). That plus driving way above the 100kph speed limit (i was running constantly at 100kph). My estimate could be between 140-150kph!

Kung sino ka man Congressman ka, for you and your driver.
