South highways filled with uneducated motorists

fully agree. noong unang panahon, me mag flash lang sa likod tumatabi na mga drivers. i still do. pero karamihan hindi na.

kesa mabuwisit ka, mag slalom ka na lang sa expressway at 120KPH

You also need to check kung may "pupuntahan" yung nasa harap mo.

Yung iba kasi flash ng flash, kahit may katabi yung nasa una, at mahaba linya sa harap.

Those who do are mostly bus and red plate drivers who seem to expect you to drive onto the median to your left or fly up to the sky above just to let them pass.

just tonight while driving in Star Tollway, there was this grey innova with plate number ZNW 797, that was cruising at around 80-90kph.. i was doing around 100. flashed him once, twice three time. four times. five times.. still didint move away from the over taking lane. followed him for about 5 kms. then finally decided to overtake him from the slow lane. when i made a move, this uneducated driver sped up. this is so annoying. when i moved back to the over taking lane, he slowed down. much more annoying.

is there a number we can call to report these kinds of motorists?

i hope that when they finish the SLEX, they'll be as strict as NLEX on speeding and overtaking lanes.. i hate zigzaging cars on the highway..

hintayin mo sir magawa yung daan sa slex, then malamang magkakaroon yan ng traffic rules same as nlex.

di lang pala ako nakapansin, talagang total chaos sa south expressway

Was driving from Pampanga to Tagaytay yesterday and it's quite noticeable the difference in stress levels from driving up north and down south. I also noticed the big bus drivers up north are somewhat better in a way (especially when compared against those Bicol route buses).

Ako everyday i experience this kind of mess from kalaw to mamplasan. Walang batas sa mga kumag magmaneho, mga jeeps na ubod ng bagal ayaw pa tumabi, lumaki nga road dumami din mababagal kala mo nasa buwan. Sana lang matulas sa Nlex na stricter ang batas at me emergency station sa mga strategic places pag may aksidente. Let's not lose hope at di pa naman tapos yung project. Btw, they're now fixing the skyway extension, nabulabog siguro nung nilabas ng world bank yung report regarding corruption practices sa mga construction company's? Na-guilty o baka masilip?

panget sa south. ang mga trucks kahit san lane nadaan.
very big difference sa north. passing lane is for passing lang talaga unlike sa south... pass any lane.

hinde pa kasi tapos yun ginagawa kaya hinde pa talaga ma implement yun mga road regulations, I'm sure pag natapos na lahat magiging parang sa NLEX na yan.

and nagtataka pa ba tayo eh hinde na natin kailagan pumunta ng SLEX to see na maraming uneducated drivers dito sa Pilipinas...labas ka lang ng bahay niyo and observe yun mga cars that's passing by...
