    I guess a lower limit of 100 kmh will do for you, doc. 80 kmh is just low for the expressway.



    It is the responsibility of the motorist when he is driving the expressway. It has never been the fault of the road if the car gets into an accident unless the road itself is not kept in good shape. In the case of the expressways, its maintenance is the responsibility of the tollway company.

    It should be mandatory then that motorists traversing the expressway are properly insured. If you have no insurance, then good luck with you taking the brunt of the expense in case of an accident.
    I agree with you bro. Government should make it mandatory that all motor vehicles are insured. To prevent yung away away pa instead of exchanging insurance information.

    It is still the reason why I still have our decade old cars insured

    Had the chance to drive 80 to 90 kph on the slow lane on a normal weekday at NLEX and I was able to pass those in the fast lane

    Whenever I want to speed up, I use the slow lane. It is possible to go beyond 100 kph most of the time, compared to the fast lane where you will find those vehicles running below 80 kph.

    Perhaps the solution should be is, to "exchange the signs".

    The truck and bus lane is the way to go if you want to speed up hehe

    Likewise, it's the responsibility of the government to set speed limits appropriate to the road conditions, traffic conditions, and other factors such as driver/vehicle capability. Hindi kasing ganda ng Autobahn yung mga daan natin so a much higher speed limit is ill-advised.

    From experience, increasing the speed limit to 120 on SCTEX and TPLEX should be fine. The traffic is not clear enough nor is the road good enough for everyone to be travelling at 140 though.

    Yung SCTEX part going to Subic, so far, mga matino motorists doon. Bihira may nakababad na mabagal sa left lane.

    Sa NLEX, mayrun pa rin mga pasaway na mabagal sa left lane.

    Sa SLEX, mas malala! Use the lane which is open if you want to get past some slow drivers on any of the lanes.

    Bihira ako madaan ng SLEX but nung last na punta ko ng batangas, ang daming nakababad sa left lane. New set of speed limits Kaya ang daming nagpapazigzag na kotse. New set of speed limits

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

    Don’t get caught! Read the new traffic rules along SLEX here – Alabang Bulletin

    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.

    Isa na ako dun... sa nagpapa zigzag!

    Nalala ko mainit ulo ko nun, tapos may woman driver na di matinag, nag high beam na ako at busina wala pa din talaga. Tapos nung naunahan ko, I'm thinking of brake checking her, pero buti kumalma ako and naisip ko na baka abutin ako kase mukang kamote driver!

    More crowded kase lagi slex compared to nlex. Ako I just high beam them pag gabi para umalis sa fast lane, sa daytime may kasamang konting busina. Sadly may mga motorists na hindi nila alam na nakaka abala sila when they stick to that Lane.
