^Conditions on SLEX are not that great either (narrower lanes, more cars, more curbs).

observation ko lang po tuwing uwi ako pangasinan ...pag activated ang gps nakaka detect sya ng speed camera yun gps nagsasabi na may speed camera so medyo nag memenor na ako....usually isang mataas na poste sya dun sa dulo naka kabit ang camera sa nlex at sctex.kahit dun sa mahabang tulay sa may candaba yata yun meron din dun.

sa slex, between sta.rosa/eton and calamba. sa slex extension wala naman kapag southbound

northbound naman, kapag galing batangas, sa startoll, malapit sa Malvar exit

slex extension - ingat lang from sto-tomas hanggang calamba toll gate. yung buong stretch may nanghuhuli minsan so kahit makalagpas ka na dun sa 25pesos na toll, may nag rradar pa rin minsan

random sila kung anong araw manghuhuli pero pansin ko lang, office hours sila nanghuhuli 8-5pm

That is because the digital camera needs enough light to take a clear picture of the car's license plate.

Walang fixed speedcam dito sa pinas. Alam natin lahat na ang pinoy sobrang maabilidad. :D what always works is yun inconsistencies nila. Now you see, now you don't.

Aliw ako sa map update ng monty, nagsasabi ng me speedcam ahead - tahimik naman radar/laser detector ko. :p

Tanungin ko lng mga bossing kung napapansin nyo na may mga pinapara na mga north bound vehicles din sa balintawak exit right after ng tollgate usually sa umaga ng weekdays (after pumasok ng NLEX), anu yun nag ooverspeeding bago pumasok ng NLEX o may ibang violation?

I have read this thread from beginning to end. Took me more than a day reading this whole thread that spans several years of posts. Very helpful indeed.

I myself have never been caught nor cited for excessive speeding but I do admit that I break the speed limit for moments that I'm behind the wheel.

Whatever car I'm driving, I always cruise at the NLEX at 120kph, that would be 120 on the GPS and around 125-130kph on the car's speedometer. So I can safely say that they don't apprehend you at that speed anytime of the day as I am from the north and I use the NLEX going around town, at different times of the day. Or maybe I'm just lucky for several years now.

Just wondering though on some posts of drivers stating that they are travelling in excess of 200kph, wow! Is that a moment's burst downhill or actually cruising at that speed? I have driven my old timers V8 Land Cruiser and it topped out at 210 and went 240 downhill at one part of SCTEX.

Modern cars have an on-board speed limiter on its ECUs. My 98 Camry tops out at 140, 2006 Camry 2.0 * 140 as well, and my 2010 tops at 190kph(I know, I'm a Camry person, lol) same goes for my Chrysler 300c * 190kph. Meaning the onboard computer limits the engine or fuel when it reaches those speed, no matter how you floor the gas pedal. Going downhill adds up a lot of momentum so that is a different matter of reading top speeds.

So it would be amazing to know if those posts are actual cruising speeds on flat ground or just bursts of adrenaline going downhill lasting no more than a few seconds. Or, a lot of tsikot members here drives big block V8 engines. I wanna know! Lol.
