Baka naman dapat miles per hour yan :D

[Syuryuken]

[kiper]

Si Marcos pa kasi ang pumirma sa batas na yan..

Dapat jan amyendahan na.

Kaya sa states legal ang 70-90 MPH.

Ang daming walang kwenta thread and walang kwenta poll si GH ngayon ah...

Nagpapayaman sa TCash! Ban ban ban!

Sa tindi ng traffic, di siguro tayo aabot sa speed limit na yan, pano ka makatakbo ng mabilis e traffic naman palagi

[VtEC]

ok padin naman yan.alangan naman lahat ng daan me naglelaser para lang makuha actual speed mo..dito nga strict na sila pero dipadin nasusunod yong standard nila na 35kph all around the island e.

[fastlane]

IMO, those are just "prescribed" speed limits. Di naman praktikal na sundin natin yan.

I agree na dapat i-ammend na to. Sa US dati 55mph ang blanket speed limit pero noong 2001 ata tinaas sa 75mph. Kung 75mph sana dito sarap nun! Mga 120kmh yun.

Yung hassle kasi, kahit na "prescribed" yung limit, pwede ka hulihin anytime ng kotong cops at sabihin "reckless driving" ka, dahil yung 60kmh ay excessive speed na.
