pano naman yung mga nasa baba bro?

If it's their time...baka gulong na eroplano Malaglag sa kanila

[playplugg]

During the time na wala pang overspeeding sa SLEX at skyway

ang exit pa noon ng bicutan, temporary ramp, 65 pesos pa ang tollgate at mababa ang presyo ng fuel,
takbuhan noon, mahina ang 120KPH (kung hindi umuulan)
pero mahigpit sila pag palagi kang changing lane...saka ka huhulin sa tollgate..

walang nahuhulog....


kung kailangan nagkaroon ng over-speeding, saka dumami yung nahuhulog sa skyway?

sa itsura pa lang ng damage ng SUV, possible na 140 above ang takbo, + umuulan pa, at may part pa dyan na merong tubig na naiipon sa may bicutan area....

kaya pag di kabisado ang kalsada, at hindi rin kabisado ng driver ang handling at braking capability ng isang sasakyan, talagang may kalalagyan,

May nag cut sa lane niya...

Montero or any other fast truck based SUV + overspeeding or sleepy driver + low railing is a very bad combination

I'm a satisfied Montero owner knowing its strong points and weaknesses.

Monty's teka teka transmission sucks at Acceleration. But once it reach the desired velocity, it has no problem maintaining it. Given its suspension and heavy steering, u wouldnt feel much difference whether you are running 100 or 160 IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

But the same heavy steering and suspension suck big time at curves. Add the big tires and pathetic skyway railing and it really will fly like a monster truck.

Kaya nilagyan ko ng drivepro yung oto. Para kahit naga antok ang driver, magwa warning pag nagswerve ka or sobrang lapit sa oto sa unahan, at high speed, naglagay din ako ng warning pag lampas 100kmh na.

Curves at high speed is the bane of truck-based SUV ... im not saying monty or truck-based SUV is bad. There are Advantages, but you also have to be aware of its weaknesses.

Baka another case eto ng sudden acceleration ng montero.. kala nya brakes yun accelerator. Walang problema yan skyway. Pinoy drivers ang problem..ginagawang race track yung highway using SUV or bus

Skyway accident raises anew concerns over safety standards

Inquirer.net, July 19, 2015 07:47pm

Another Skyway accident over the weekend raised concerns over safety standards implemented on the expressway.

More than a week after half of a Mitsubishi Strada pickup hanged over the edge of the Skyway near the Bicutan exit, a sports utility vehicle plunged more than 10 meters near the same spot of the main expressway and fell on a concrete wall along the East Service Road in Taguig City on Saturday night.

According to the Highway Patrol Group (HPG) public information officer, Supt. Oliver Tanseco, the accident happened at 8:47 p.m. along the northbound lane of the elevated Skyway in front of the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP).

Tanseco said the driver of the SUV with conduction sticker No. NH 5966 was identified as Mohammad Younus, a Pakistani residing in Parañaque City. Younus reportedly suffered injuries and was rushed to the nearby Taguig-Pateros District Hospital.

He added that the vehicle was speeding along the Skyway and the driver lost control of his vehicle causing him to hit the rail before falling off the highway.

This was confirmed by another driver who posted on the Facebook page of the automobile magazine Top Gear Philippines that the vehicle she was driving was in front of the Montero at around 8:40 p.m.

"I was driving at 100 kilometers per hour when I saw from my rear-view mirror an SUV cruising at a tremendous speed on my right side. I can tell that it was traveling around 160 kilometers per hour," she added noting that it only took about five seconds for the Montero to sway four times before it turned right and hit the railing of the highway.

The Skyway management has not released a statement or answer questions about the accident as they always try to pass calls and inquiries about accidents to the HPG, which is tasked to investigate the accident.

The public has expressed concern that the Skyway's safety barrier may not be high enough.

Ricardo Ramos, executive director of the Citizens Infrastructure Integrity Watchdog (Infrawatch) said that the safety barriers, a combination of concrete and metal, were "too low" at one meter, which was personally measured by Ramos.

He said their group thought that the barrier should at least measure 1.5 meters so that in the event of accidents involving big vehicles like SUVs and buses, these barriers would prevent them from falling from the Skyway.

"We carefully studied those barriers and they do not follow international standards as earlier claimed. In fact, they do not even have a standard to begin with," Ramos added.

At the present height of the barriers, they are just as tall as the tires of buses, which would really not help if big vehicles figure in accidents on the Skyway, according to Ramos.

Top Gear noted that recent accidents on the motorway could be caused by "inferior-quality railing, non-standard railing height, irregular patch on the Skyway pavement, strong crosswinds, reckless driving, and mechanical failure."

It added that by this time and with the accidents happening on the Skyway, its management should have conducted "an authoritative test" to simulate the accidents.

"As they say: Once is an accident; twice is coincidence; thrice is a trend. More than thrice is, well, sheer negligence," Top Gear added.

On July 8, torential monsoon rains and high-speed driving were also blamed for the Strada accident on the soutbound direction of the Skyway where the driver and a passenger were saved from falling a few meters from the elevated expressway. But two years ago, 21 passengers of a Don Mariano Transit bus were not as lucky as they were killed after the public utility vehicle plunged to the service road below it.

Not really surprised kung taga middle east ang na-involved dito sa accident, dahil sa lugar ng middle east, sports car nila ay SUV...

since notorious ang skyway, pag di po talaga familiar sa lugar na yan....meron at meron talagang kalalagyan..

late 90's po ito nabuksan, not mistaken, first 10yrs, ni isang sasakyan, walang nahulog sa skyway, kahit sobrang harurot lahat ng gumagamit ng skyway noon...


mahigpit sila pag dating line usage, palipat lipat ka ng linya sa kalsada, babad ka sa overtaking lane, at mabagal ka, at mabilis ka sa right side...

panigurado, huli po agad pag dating sa tollgate (near tesda pa ang toll exit dati) both enforcer ng skyway at HPG ng bicutan para for ticket violation..

2x akong nagkaroon ng kamuntikan, commute and self driving situation....

at lagi ako nadaan sa area na yan.....

Skyway MNGT must renovate their railings to prevent dumb drivers falling on the ground. Just see this picture how low the railings are in the skyway. If you step on the gutter, you can actually jump over the railings with ease.

Attachment 27758

that is the GOVT (LTO) duty, not the skyway... if we the skyway improve the railing, does that mean that those dumb driver won't fall off another bridge or elevated road?


anyways, keep dreaming... the majority of PH Govt is useless

Really? LTO? Do you know sir what LTO means? Metro Manila Skyway System is being operated by Skyway Operations and Maintenance Corporations (SOMco.) which replaced the PNCC Skyway Corporation in its tollway management and other related functions effective 2008. FYI lang sir, SOMCo is in charge of the three major operational functions, mainly: the traffic safety and security, the maintenance of facilities, and the toll collection. So panong si LTO ang may responsibilidad sa pag sasaayos ng railings ng skyway?

What he meant is for LTO to have a more stringent when in comes to issuing driver's license.

Sa bilis ng takbo niya, dapat diyan, (at lalo na kapag na-prove na DUI),- pagmultahin ng malaki at ikulong hanggang humaba ang kuko ng limang metro....

Sa ibang bansa nangyari iyan,- yari kang dahuhan ka.... Wala ba siyang kasama ?

Hindi kaya ito si rL?

Wala na tayong magagawa sir kung corrupt talaga si LTO, i'm just saying that skyway mngt can prevent vehicles falling on to the ground by renovating or improving their fences or railings. Wala naman na tayong pakielam kung bigyan ng LTO ung mga taong mag start lang alam sa sasakyan.

Sabihin na nating barumbado sya. Pero mas safe na taasan yung railing para kahit may barumbado sa skyway, walang madadamay sa baba ng skyway. Pagbayarin na lang dun sa barumbadong tao yung railing pag may damage. Parang multa na rin nya yun dahil kasalanan nya

Precisely! Don't blame the others ( LTO daw ) while the one ( Skyway Management) who are involved here can give a cure on the problem.

[Juan Martinez]

that pakistani, if he ran 160 on a skyway, he's a running time bomb. let's stop blaming people or circumstances. we need to diffuse that bomb. and i don't care whether he should be castrated or what. for one, if he damaged other people's property, that's reckless impudence resulting to damage to property. he should serve time for what he did or failed to do then deport him. that's the least we can do rather than finger pointing and bickering.

[poknet]

If he did ran 160kph he should be penalized. Dapat sampolan yang mga maangas na dayuhan na yan.

[monty_GTV]

pakistano pa pala...dapat makasuhan yan at mai-deport
