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

eLoW GuYz...

Sa mga laging bumabyahe ng North at mahilig lumampas ng konti sa MAX speed limit saan-saan ba yung mga portionna kung saan ay nagche-check sila ng speed limit ng mga sasakyan..? Sana ay maituro nyo naman sa akin ang inyong mga munting sekreto...

It's easier to speed along the SCTEX than NLEX because the SCTEX has less places for the patrol vehicles to hide.

On the SCTEX, when approaching a blind rise in the road, slow down to almost legal speeds and when you reach the top, scan the road ahead of ANY white AUV/Pickup parked on the side of the road. If you don't spot any, you can increase your speed to your heart's content until the next blind rise in the road.

Typically radar guns are used on straight portions of road, so on long curves the chances are very small you will get "tagged" there.

Tip sa akin ng 1 tropa, bumontot daw sa humahataw na nauuna sa iyo. I think safe sa huli, but unsafe for driving.

True. The first car will be the one caught and the one behind will get away. But if you are following the first car close enough not to get caught by the radar gun, it is unsafe for you and for the car ahead of you. It won't be fun because you'll be extremely nervous and on edge all the time.

ako madalas din lagpas sa speedlimit ang takbo ko sa SCTEX AT NLEX pero hindi pa ako naticketan.. pero upto 140kph lang.. and iniiwasan ko din magbabad ng matagal sa overtaking lane.

almost 4 months ako nagpapabalik balik sa tarlac city via sctex and nlex pero wala pa akong nakita may operation para manghuli ng mga violators. madalas ko din tingan yung mga overpass pero wala din ako nakita may tao na may hawak ng speed gun or kung ano man.

NLEX:

Northbound - usually after San Fernando and Mexico exits (either on the side of the road or on the overpass)
Southbound - anywhere in Bulacan after the viaduct and before the Sta. Rita exit

SCTEX - slow down when you approach the exits (which is the right thing to do anyway) and blind rises (as GH mentioned). They love hiding behind these or on the shoulder ditches.

Be safe. Keep to speeds you feel comfortable with given the car you're using and road conditions. Always remember that there are other people using the same road and be aware of your braking distances and control at higher speeds.

I was caught doing 128kph last sept 30 around 8:30 am on my way to Clark. The guy was hiding behind an overpass post in the middle portion of NLEX.

Ingat k lang Rick s may mga overpass, at yung prang antena n may attachment n semi-sphere s dulo (mga tatlo lang yun). Safe p rin nman ang 120kph at pag nsa passing lane k e pwedeng umabuso ng konti. Syempre, ingat p rin llo n pag nramdaman mo n nagbabagalan n yung mga mbibilis s paligid mo, o pag ikaw n lang ang mbilis. Of course ang patrol, unpredicted mga yan, khit nsa opposite lane sila at pag di maganda ang swerving mo e pwede k i-report s patrol n nasa lane mo.

You can run up to 120 kph in SCTEX, yan ang advise sa akin nung nakahuli. If you exceed, I don't know, kasi mula ng mahuli ako, I never exceed to 120 kph. sa NLEX, I think it is also applied, basta pagdating ko sa may sign ng "RADAR MONITOR" medyo slow down ng konti para hindi halata ng sumusunod sa akin...

Used NLEX and SCTEX last December when I went up to Baguio, I just maintained my speed at 100km/hr and let my son seated at the back to gently tap my shoulders when I am over. Just be safe when driving there although the wide and open hi-way is so tempting to stretch your ride's capabilities.

^ Very true

For me, I have yet to maximize the turbo of my hiace commuter when going South, coz I only stay within 100-120kph.

I just renewed my license and I don't wanna be apprehended (again!).

Btw, last time we went south, i'm inside my BIL's Innova doing 120kph while my other BIL was on a Monty doing a 140kph. Time was around 10 in the morning. The monty was flagged down, but not the innova.

Funny thing was the officer is taking his time lecturing my BIL about safe driving when my BIL keep saying "tikitan mo nako".
To make the story short, the officer was just asking for some merienda and my BIL handed him 100 bucks to let us go.

Traffic enforcers....

Last September, 120kph as a max to my speed & I used 140kph for overtaking on NLEX & SCTEX.
No problem and no harm done!

If I recall 1-2k... not sure.

Seminar is really short. A short snooze in the projection room then a pretty easy written exam after.

[bayen]

Speed doesn't kill... its how speed is used that kills...
you can be fast yet safe... sometimes being slow is more dangerous..

That cop based his judgment on "by-the-book" (strict implementation on what was written on the laws), & no "human tolerance" (window or leeway)!

Felt sorry for you Bro. Still many MV run more than 120Kph but never been caught, maybe lucky enough!
