New set of speed limits

[remzam]

About the leftmost lane, walang nagtuturo sa driving school. Without that knowledge, new and old drivers alike would of course prefer the leftmost lane dahil kanan na lang nila ang babantayan nila instead of both sides. Sa rightmost lane naman nandyan lagi yung mga buses at trucks, at mga sumisingit sa shoulder.

Natutunan ko na lang yang fast lane sa pagbabasa sa mga forum like this.

That is good reason why some drivers prefer the left most lane even if not overtaking.

Let me present an alternate view.

Ako I prefer in the middle lane, unless I'm running at maximum allowable speed, then I use the leftmost lane. Yung wala ako maaabala. Kasi dami na rin ako binusinahan na babad sa kaliwa pero ambagal.

My reason why I prefer the middle or inner lane is because it gives me more options for escape route when an emergency happens. Pag bigla tumigil nasa harap ko for some reason, with good presence of mind, I can veer to the left or right depending on the situation. Kung nasa leftmost lane ako at may emergency, kanan lang option ko. Semento na kaliwa.

Someone also said the same thing to me, it is better that I stay in the middle, with the same reason as yours.

Middle Lane is best. Wala ka din sa buntot ng mga truck na naghahagis ng bato sa windshield mo.

Now about sa leftmost Lane, whatever your speed is, make sure wala tayo maabala sa likuran. Hindi pwede ijustify for example you're making 100 and that should be ok because max speed limit Yun. That's not true, kase laging meron Mas mabilis sayo even bawal.

unless i am in a real hurry, and i really overtake, i stay in the center lane.

Me too. I stay on the middle lanes assuming there are three or more lanes on a highway.

At night in SLEX, stay away from the middle lane as this is where the trucks pass thru.

yup.
reasonably mabilis din naman doon.

but i am thankful for slex authorities. they really keep the buses and trucks away from the fast lane, even during critical rush hour times.
dati dati, traffic kaming mga kotseng pabalik pasay, dahil the container vans were occupying all the slex lanes.

Kung Maintaining speed at 100KPH, stay sa middle lane..

Pinaka-safe talaga.. once na nagkaroon ng aberya, at proper distance at speed, enough space, time at react na makapag- brake at maneuver, as safe as possible. At walang damages at huring inside or outside sa sasakyan/

Marami talagang pasaway sa highway lalo kung most of the time mga exposed sa city driving at bihira sa highway driving..

Maliban pa sa mga teenagers ngayon na dala ay PPV's, CUV's at sub-compact sedan na less than 1300CC, at racing pa at post sa social media..


Iba pa ang situation pag dating sa toll-gate, gitgitan pa at agawan sa pila.. meron at meron pa ring nadadale.. slow speed na lang po ito..

Maintain Discipline, Respect at Courtesy...

Kasi once na ignore po ito.. papasok na ang "Murphy's Law"

Went to Los Baños today so had to deal with the awful road etiquette of SLEX again.

May isa na nakataas pa paa ng pasahero while cruising at 70 kph on the leftmost lane.

kahit hindi ituro sa driving school, may mga signages naman na nakalagay Keep Right except to overtake.

Naalala ko nung bagong bukas ang NLEX (North Diversion road ang tawag noon) in the late 60s, may prime time TV ad showing etiquette like the passing lane, how to use the shoulder, what to do when your car breaks down, speed limits, etc. Sadly, marami pa ring hindi sumunod.
