Overspeeding sa Skyway?!?

[pajerokid]

jhonnyd, I'd hate to burst your bubble, but yes, there is a speed limit on the skyway, sa alabang pa ako nagtatrabaho meron na niyan. Also, im positive that there are signs to this effect both ways.

Protest if you must. But dont complain when you do break the law (plead ignorance na lang siguro).

Sed lex dura lex.

[roninblade]

in addition...

it doesn't matter if the highway is empty or not, wala naman traffic condition na binibigay sa pag set ng speed limit.

pero sana equal ang enforcement ng law, yung mga pumapasok sa highways na tumatakbo below the speed limit, dapat hulihin din nila. usually, sila mga cause ng traffic sa mga express ways.

sa NLEX din merong speed limit. yung friend ko nahuli eh buti nga umaandar kasi ng 160kmh

even if walang cars masyado sa skyway nakakatakot p din, what if mawalan ka ng preno? talagang magiging skyway cya

i was caught daw by radar before the toll plaza going to alabang. its ok sana if consistent ang application of the law. you can't help feeling parang injustice yan sa iyo because others have graver offenses & get away w/ it. this is my first ticket after 20+ years of driving. anyway, the only consolation is that i was driving a company car & i can reimburse the fine. How much kaya ito? ganyan talaga buhay....:sigh:

No offense ha.
1) Whether somebody is watching us or not we should be conscious of what is right or wrong. Pero HE is always looking upon us.
2) Even if others was not caught for doing wrong we should still maintain our core value.
We could never correct the system but we have the option to straighten ourselves.
Pero kung ako nahuli...iinit din ang ulo ko...biro mo laki ng binabayad ko sa tax tapos huhulihin lang ako sa mga simpleng road violation ko.. hehehe.

field master,

ok na yon. i cannot say na lesson learned because i try to be law abiding always. di gaya ng mga #*$* PU drivers. na bad timing lang ako. rationalize na lang. below the belt lang yung pinaalala mo pa yung tax na binabayad. iiyak na ko nyan. waaahh!!

I tried 140 there, di naman ako hinuli...

Magkakaroon na po ng hulihan starting December. Mas mahigpit ang hulihan sa NLEX.

You should have checked under-protest box before signing and handing back the booklet. Di na po mahahabol yun. Sa LTO Main po ang claiming ng licenses. I believe it was 1,500 for the penalty fee, yan yung naalala kong binayaran ko dati. :D

They usually point the radar after Bicutan entry, yung downslope part ng Skyway, that's definitely a speedtrap. They usually give ~5km/h from top speed limit. Hindi lahat nabibiktima. Timbrehan by radio yung mga nanghuhuli, aabangan ka sa tollgate. Kahit na e-pass lane pa ang pasukin.

Mabuti na rin yung may control ng speeds, at least to lessen if not zero the accidents. Tama din naman yung sobra bagal may cause another accidents, but vehicle tends to be more controllable at slower speeds...so safety first...I think its about time too that our highways and roads have equipments like radars and cameras....masyado na nga tayo backwards sa ganyang implementations eh.

Pwede ba gamitan ng mga Radar Detector na nabibili sa states yung radar system ng NLEX SLEX natin?

ni hindi nga ako nakapirma sa ticket. di na bale ok na yon. i think i was checked by radar after entering sa pasay rd. downslope doon kaya mabilis ka. what is ironic is tha when i was going down that downslope my speed reached reached 120 so i was slowing down when i was gunned by the radar. siguro kailangan na magpakuha ng radar detector.

[pissword]

buti nalang dati sa skyway from bicutan to buendia d ako nahuli i was doing 150kph more or less kasi habol ako ng test, bicutan to taft in 20minutes haha swerte pa...

bakit sa skyway lang at wala sa SLEX mismo sa baba nanghuhuli?
