    i think it is not the issue of "forget all rules" but rather, this things happen because of the current situation in SLEX...and unfortunately, neither you nor me nor even the authorities can stop these 100% unless the road project is finished.

    to site an example...NLEX about 10 years ago have similar congestion problem as SLEX. More so when the road was repaired. During that time, there is no such thing as shoulder or even island...basta matatakbuhan ng sasakyan dadaanan yan.

    Nobody cared if it was the right thing to do. Nobody cared about penalties or rules of the road. Nobody cared about the safety of their family on board....

    The thing was, after the construction (about 3 years back pa nagsimula) ng NLEX expansion...very minimal na ang violators nun.

    I'm afraid your rant will only be a rant until after that SLEX project is finished. I personally think that eventually (as the construction extends further), every driver in the SLEX will start using shoulder as the fast lane.... and this will be a "curse" for every SLEX rider for at least the next 4 years.

    As it was earlier said by one of the tsikoteers - "Welcome to the Philippines!!!".


    :peace:

Using the shoulder as an overtaking/fast lane
