New set of speed limits

[WallyWest]

About the leftmost lane, walang nagtuturo sa driving school. Without that knowledge, new and old drivers alike would of course prefer the leftmost lane dahil kanan na lang nila ang babantayan nila instead of both sides. Sa rightmost lane naman nandyan lagi yung mga buses at trucks, at mga sumisingit sa shoulder.

Natutunan ko na lang yang fast lane sa pagbabasa sa mga forum like this.

Saang driving school?

Same with my daughter in 2012.

Socialites. Around 2005. 10 hours of driving back and forth through BF Parañaque and/or Molino.

1 trial of parking in reverse, 1 trial of K turn, zero lessons on parallel parking between 2 cars, 1 lesson on "hanging". Maybe they taught road rules in their seminars which isn't a requirement and is in 1 location only. Driving instructor never taught it while on the road though.

Most of the parking maneuvers I picked up from Youtube. Other driving dos and don'ts (such as left lane use, no blinkers in the rain) I picked up (and still picking up) from car forums.

eto sa tingin kong dahilan
noob drivers, na tinuturuan ng mali ng matatandang drivers na di naman marunong sumunod sa traffic rules to begin with.

so who appointed them to be the speed enforcers?
"hawi kayo diyan! may emergenci ini!"
heh heh.

Wala nga kasi tayong proper driving test with someone who will sit beside the driver and tick off requirements from a list.

Atras-abante ng karag-karag na manual car or OTJ. Pag sinabi mong matic lang ang kaya mo, bypass na ang test. Ano yun?

Ako naman nalaman ko lang yung fast lane from trips abroad. May road user's manual kasi doon.

i remember a driving test abroad.
"you failed, sir."
"but why? i was able to ..."
"you just used your rear view mirror, sir. you are supposed to turn your neck as well..."

Bihira ako madaan ng SLEX but nung last na punta ko ng batangas, ang daming nakababad sa left lane. [emoji31] Kaya ang daming nagpapazigzag na kotse. [emoji24]

I drive at SLEX everyday as I live near Sucat. I am one of those who just make do and find the openings within the lanes to pass slower cars. When traffic is light, most people just drive between 60-80 kmh within the stretch from Sucat to Nichols/C5 but I keep my pace and drive much faster (100-120 kmh) but it means a lot of passing and sprinting.

Mas disiplinado nga ang drivers sa NLEX kaysa SLEX. The concept of the passing lane is lost on drivers from the south.

Right on, bro! NLEX is much better in terms of infrastructure and motorist discipline. It’s very hard to cruise on a single lane in SLEX. It’s always a constant dash and pass if you want to move away from these slow drivers.

I learned to drive while I was growing in Davao. You just have to find the right timing to pass on the highways. There are no expressways in Mindanao.

The concept of expressway driving and left-lane passing I learned while working in the US. I got used to people driving fast out there.

That is good reason why some drivers prefer the left most lane even if not overtaking.

Let me present an alternate view.

Ako I prefer in the middle lane, unless I'm running at maximum allowable speed, then I use the leftmost lane. Yung wala ako maaabala. Kasi dami na rin ako binusinahan na babad sa kaliwa pero ambagal.

My reason why I prefer the middle or inner lane is because it gives me more options for escape route when an emergency happens. Pag bigla tumigil nasa harap ko for some reason, with good presence of mind, I can veer to the left or right depending on the situation. Kung nasa leftmost lane ako at may emergency, kanan lang option ko. Semento na kaliwa.

Someone also said the same thing to me, it is better that I stay in the middle, with the same reason as yours.

Middle Lane is best. Wala ka din sa buntot ng mga truck na naghahagis ng bato sa windshield mo.

Now about sa leftmost Lane, whatever your speed is, make sure wala tayo maabala sa likuran. Hindi pwede ijustify for example you're making 100 and that should be ok because max speed limit Yun. That's not true, kase laging meron Mas mabilis sayo even bawal.

unless i am in a real hurry, and i really overtake, i stay in the center lane.

Me too. I stay on the middle lanes assuming there are three or more lanes on a highway.

At night in SLEX, stay away from the middle lane as this is where the trucks pass thru.

yup.
reasonably mabilis din naman doon.

but i am thankful for slex authorities. they really keep the buses and trucks away from the fast lane, even during critical rush hour times.
dati dati, traffic kaming mga kotseng pabalik pasay, dahil the container vans were occupying all the slex lanes.

Kung Maintaining speed at 100KPH, stay sa middle lane..

Pinaka-safe talaga.. once na nagkaroon ng aberya, at proper distance at speed, enough space, time at react na makapag- brake at maneuver, as safe as possible. At walang damages at huring inside or outside sa sasakyan/

Marami talagang pasaway sa highway lalo kung most of the time mga exposed sa city driving at bihira sa highway driving..
(Fast Lane Haggler)

Maliban pa sa mga teenagers ngayon na dala ay PPV's, CUV's at sub-compact sedan na less than 1300CC, at racing pa at post sa social media..


Iba pa ang situation pag dating sa toll-gate, gitgitan pa at agawan sa pila.. meron at meron pa ring nadadale.. slow speed na lang po ito..

Maintain Discipline, Respect at Courtesy...

Kasi once na ignore po ito.. papasok na ang "Murphy's Law"

Went to Los Baños today so had to deal with the awful road etiquette of SLEX again.

May isa na nakataas pa paa ng pasahero while cruising at 70 kph on the leftmost lane.

kahit hindi ituro sa driving school, may mga signages naman na nakalagay Keep Right except to overtake.

Naalala ko nung bagong bukas ang NLEX (North Diversion road ang tawag noon) in the late 60s, may prime time TV ad showing etiquette like the passing lane, how to use the shoulder, what to do when your car breaks down, speed limits, etc. Sadly, marami pa ring hindi sumunod.
