Proper use of Passing Lane (Left most lane)

**froshie1** · February 8th, 2007 04:47 AM

Mga pre, diba ang proper use talaga ng passing lane ay kung magoover take ang sasakyan once na maka-over take na sya sa mga mababagal na sasakyan eh dapat pumunta na sya dun sa ordinary lane (kung sa SSH iyong sa gitna)?

AFAIK, yes. Though alam mo naman ang traffic rules and regs dito -- suggestion lang. Why?

Something tells me it feels good when you know you're doing the right thing despite the rest breaking all the rules.

Then again, it also feels good breaking some rules.

Yup ganun nga. And I was told at a driving seminar that you're only supposed to pass/overtake via this lane, not any of the other two lanes. But when others inadvertently hog the passing lane, like when they take too long to overtake and you've signified you're behind them and are ready to pass them too, then you can pass/overtake via the middle lane, as long as it's safe.

The part I hate about SLEX though is that many slow vehicles hog the passing lane as if they're driving at the speed limit, whereinfact they're being passed by everyone else. Get out of the passing lane and stay in the middle lane.

tsktsktsk.. mdami talaga mga ganyan.. minsan nagtatapat pa yung 2 kotse na nsa passing and middle lane tapos parehong mabagal..

para bang nag uusap yung dalwa at magkasabay na magkasabay sila, kaya nag shoulder n lng minsan ako para lagpasan mga gnun.. haay kainit talaga ng ulo mga ganun..

tama, balik agad sa gitna para hindi naman makasagabal sa mga gustong
gumamit ng innermost/passing lane. mas safe sa gitna, 2 option mo in
case magkaroon ng biglaang aksidente sa harap. kaliwa or kanan.

Meron ng ganitong topic dito kung hindi ako nagkakamali...

Yes, ganun nga ang tamang paggamit ng passing lane, at may dalawang klaseng driver ang gumagamit nyan, isang sumusunod at isang hindi

I sometimes wonder if we have changed the rules when it comes to passing vehicles...

I always see vehicles using the shoulder when passing... Ang alam ko talaga yung innermost lane is the passing lane... There are now so many airheads on the road they have no clue on road rules whatsoever...

Oh well, at least it's still worse in Sicily...
