Nlex Experience - Reviews, Rules, Speed Radars

[rockybrawler]

as I said, walang standard meaning ang flashing of lights. so your intention of flashing your lights ay para bastusin ang kotse sa harap mo, but do you think the other driver understands what your intention is?

 

iilang seconds lang naman ang mawawala sa iyo.. keep cool and slow down.

 

flashing your lights is similar to honking at a carabao to get out of your way

So how should we signal the idiot driver who's driving at 40kph on the fast lane that we want to overtake?

So how should we signal the idiot driver who's driving at 40kph on the fast lane that we want to overtake?

hayaan mo lang. kahit businahan mo na ayaw lumipat hayaan mo lang. meron namang portions ng nlex that split into 4 lanes. keep your cool.

 

also, he is already below the minimum speed limit. may mga roving patrol naman so huli yan. sobra namang road rage kung pagiinitan mo ang mabagal na driver. malay mo he/she is going slow because of an emergency or sira ang sasakyan di ba?

 

besides, ang problema ko naman sa nlex are those who drive 100 kph and above. the fastest I drove through nlex is up to 95 kph. takot ako mahuli for going above the speed limit. my interpretation of those wanting to go fast and flashing their lights are:

• government wang wang brigade
  
• medical emergency
  
• diarrhea
  

 

just keep cool and drive defensively. bakit ka nga ba magpapaspas through nlex when paglabas mo ng nlex ay traffic ang sasalubong sa iyo? the few minutes you gained through nlex becomes moot.

 

teka nga ba.. ang minimum speed sa nlex ay 60 kph while ang maximum ay 100 kph, right? so how come I read here that the speed limit "depends"?

[howard_the_duck]

oo nga, pagkalabas mo sa NLEX, trapik na ulit

kapag may emergency lang ako like nung inakate sa puso ang tito ko at tinatakbo ko sa ospital sabay may hazard lights at pagbubusina. I remember bumaba pa ako ng sasakyan at traffic para sabihan ang jeep na nagloading-unloading sa isang intersection kung pwede ay tumabi siya.

 

flashing of lights.. kasi naman ayaw ko maaksidente. iba iba ang interpretation ng flashing of lights. lumalabas ang attitude na ayaw pumila and wait eh paglabas mo naman ng nlex traffic rin ang aabutin mo (unless late in the evening or early morning ka bumyahe).

 

in your interpretation ay para mambastos ka ng driver to move because you are faster/bigger car. two things may happen: 1) the other car does make way, 2) the other car speeds up to match your speed, may even go beyond the speed limit.

 

all because you don't want to slow down.

 

kanya kanyang interpretation eh.

[howard_the_duck]

hahaha @ diarrhea

[tph]

Last May, my friends and I headed for Subic riding my Toyota Innova. I was able to cruise thru NLEX without being apprehended with the speedometer playing between 100-140kph. Come along SCTEX, nanggigil talaga ako thinking that since I got away from going beyond the speed limit along NLEX there shouldn't be a problem in SCTEX. Sino bang hindi matetempt maghataw sa SCTEX eh ang lapad at ang patag ng daan. Needless to say there is a significant drop in the volume of cars around. You might even find yourself cruising within 2-5 kms stretch without any cars in sight. To make the long story short, I think I was able to make my Innova reach 170kph without any problem (I know I could've drove faster since I wasn't even flooring the accelerator. The steering wheel just gets pretty "shakey" at this point as if the car's telling you it isn't built for performance and drove at this speed). Come the entry toll way in Subic, I was apprehended and told that I was detected by the radar reaching 147 kph. I tried to "bribe the officer but they stood firm. I even called a key person in LTO to help me but without luck my driver's license was still confiscated. Although I was able to use the help of my friend to eliminate the "seminar," I still had to settle a total fine of P2,500. On our way home I sticked to the speed limit and guess what, total travel time didnt vary very much from the previous trip to Subic. I learned my lesson the expensive way. Hope this experience may enlighten other drivers out there.

Bro,

Where did you pay the fine to claim your license?

I just used my connections to have my license "dukot" by a key personnel in LTO. I the payment it to him thru bank transfer.

Ang mahal naqman fine mo P2,500. yung sa driver ko nahuli sya 145 kph daw la din seminar. Nilakad ko P1,500 lang

Onga eh... sometimes iniisip ko nga hindi naman talaga dapat offense yung overspeeding dun kasi maski tignan mo yung tiket wala namang specific selection dun sa offense yung overspeeding. Sinusulat lang ng traffic officer overspeeding then what speed kuno. Actually I had a friend that was also apprehended 2 weeks ago in SCTEX. Nagmatigas siya and hindi agad nilabas ang lisensya niya. He told the apprehending officer that ibibigay niya lang ang license niya kung bibigyan siya ng physical proof nung claimed speed na nahuli kuno ng radar/camera. He also threatened to expose the officer since he's working in ABSCBN while showing his ID. Naknampu... nasindak ata yung officer tapos pinaalis na siya. So, may nakakalusot parin pala dito hehe

[redblack]

Takbo ka ng 200kph tol. hindi ka na kayang habulin non. he he he

 

Actually come to think of it, mas delikado pa pag natanaw mo yong mobile patrol, tapos ang bilis ng takbo mo...so babagal ka...baka matumbok ka nong nasa likod mo na parating.

 

anyway, lagi ko tinatanaw ahead of me kung may patrol, tapos pag may nakita ako, i try to slow down para hindi pansinin. syempre tingin sa likod kung may parating din na mabilis. madali naman sila makita sa SCTEX kasi walang taguan don.
