2. There are also a lot of sloooooww vehicles hogging the overtaking lane. At one point, I was doing a measly 80-85 kph on the regular lane and I overtook a Honda City that stuck it out on the overtaking lane. Tsk, tsk.

3. Buses are still driven by maniacs weaving all over the place in excess of 100 kph. Can't they stick to their freakin lanes?!

4. Driving 80-90 kph on SLEX is good for the fuel tank, got a Tucson 2.0 Theta II to hit 7.8 L/100 km even with a few overtaking bursts, *lol*

I think the SLEX will stand to benefit from having a bit more visible patrols to discourage the speedsters, weavers, and laggards.

I don't mind these drivers/vehicles doing more than 100KPH, as they're responsible for their speed.

However, it is a lot safer for them to stay on the passing lane. Let the fast ones get ahead.

So, the real problem here are those drivers hugging the passing lane, whether they're already at 100KPH,- forcing these high speed vehicles to weave in and out to pass them
