NLEX, SCTEX, Over-Speeding, Speed-Radar [MERGED Threads]

[vinj]

A car blew his rear tire kanina at NLEX.. I'd say the car was cruising at 90km/h (mga 120 ako nun eh :D) First time seeing one and god damnit kaharap ko yun kotse! Whoever you are... that's some bad luck you got there.

Actually, if i recall correctly, one of the higher statistics of car failures (or accidents?) on NLEX would be blown tires. Kaya always keep watch on your tires and don't scrimp on tires when you're buying.

hehe thanks sa reactions guys ... what I forgot to mention is the reason I didn't have my seat belt on was because I removed it when I reached for my wallet in back pocket and I was just about to clip it on again when I got apprehended mere meters from the toll booth... I tried explaining that to the officer but ofcourse he wouldn't hear any of it. Wear seatbelts all the time folks.

Haha... next sermon: When driving, keep all things within easy reach like your cellphone and wallet. It can be a safety distraction having to fish it from your pockets while driving.

Actually, when the traffic enforcers are courteous and they are apprehending you for a valid and well-explained reason, it's not painful or irritating as compared to when you encounter the kotong enforcers around Metro Manila.

+1 to properly inflated tires.

Good point Bro, or better there's a secretary besides you when driving!

Basta walang ibang kinakalikot yung "secretary" mo

Hahaha.
Kailangan ng mag-stop over pag ganun.

Anyway, pwede namang si Mrs ang secretary para mas iwas disgrasya.

Hi, I'll be going to Clark tomorrow (or in a few hours actually, since it's past 12MN), and consequently we'll be passing through NLEX and SCTEX.

Meron bang nanghuhuli sa NLEX/SCTEX ng mga 4-5am? Not that I'm deliberately gonna go over the speed limit, but just in case.

Also, what do I watch out for should I suddenly find myself above the 100 kph speed limit? From what I've read, it's usually a parked vehicle, either marked or unmarked, by the side of the road. Yun lang ba? So I just slow down whenever I see a a vehicle by the side, when there's an overpass, and when there's a blind crest?

Lastly, saan usually nanghuhuli? Just so I've got a heads-up on which parts to be cautious. Thanks :D

Thanks GH. Last thing, quite OT, would it be faster to pass through SCTEx or Angeles exit at this time?

By the time you see the parked white van, its probably too late for you already.

Generally it's faster to pass through the SCTEX gate going to clark but you end up at the back of clark near the race track.
