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

[ronald_m]

Gotta love nlex,I was driving 150+kph and it only took us from the first toll gate to Angeles in about 40+minutes.That was last year when i went on vacation.I was driving without license.What do you think should i do if i was caught speeding?Ofcourse bribe the pig,oh no somebody might reading this.

*lakay: ah... that explains it. Sorry for being so confrontational. And after reading my first post again, I can understand how it would affect you. My apologies, for, as I said, that was not my intent.

if you can't read them, I guess those tinted plate covers have done their job as intended.

And those sell for under P200. Does the speed radar take pictures of the front of the car? (the tipped plate holders are only applicable for the front of the car).

I believe so. I think radar guns are more accurate if taking a reading from an incoming vehicle. Taking a radar reading from a vehicle that has passed already introduces a larger degree of error, I think, and can be contested quite readily in the US.

experience talking here?

Haha... nope. Not yet. But seriously, I usually drive conservatively during rush hour (that's how I can get 14 km/l on the NLEX), and I always stop for lunch at a gas station along NLEX while driving, to let the car (and driver) cool down.

I used to be evil, but I try to be good nowadays. "Spirited" driving is for deserted stretches of road and racetracks only.

meron din bang speed radar sa SLEX?

meron din bang speed radar sa SLEX?

afaik, none yet. but i think after they completed the renovation (with the accompanying toll fee increase), radars will be implemented.

[lakay]

Niky, no harm done. Radar gun is fairly accurate up to almost 300 ft (100 meters) as long as your within the cone. You can always contest that because it locks on bigger object which if you are beside an SUV and your driving a car, the radar with X and K band lock on the SUV. But the Laser one is accurate to almost 1000 Ft. and aim it like a gun sight. The new even get a digital photograph with a red dot on the target vehicle and information about the speed of that vehicle with date and time.

niky, you don't need to stay overnight at a gas station to avoid being apprehended for speeding, just an hour or 2 will do.

lakas ng loob sir a. well, hope you get jailed next time you get caught overspeeding(at 150kph+ pa ha), lalo na without a license. para naman safe ang ibang motorista from you.

seriously, magbago ka na sir, member pa naman tayo ng tsikot.com.

if you put it that way, the choice is clear, kumbaga an hour or two? aba, di hamak na nakalabas na ko ng NLEX nyan before that timeframe pag susunod ako sa 100kph na speed limit.

i thought tsikot.com community are supposed to be for DISCIPLINED driving... I just found it so disgusting that techniques/devices to circumvent the law is being discussed.

There are a lot of threads where the traffic enforcers are called idiots (as noted by one of the posters) for not doing their job. But do speeders do their part?

just an observation.... :peace:

A good observation, resmile.

[ian_rex]

may tropa akong enforcer sa NLEX. putek, if you think you can get away with them, think again. linchak sa training ang mga yan. imagine going through an obstacle course * 70 kph na paatras!

another thing is, yung mga motorsiklo, papasemplangin mo * 70 kph din.

plus, you can't bribe them. laki nang mga sweldo nyan. katwiran nila: ayun naman pala e, may pantubos ka naman e. tubusin mo na lang sa LTO. eto ang tiket mo."

Nice one sir, Nung mabasa ko nga yung post na iyon natawa na lang ako sa inis.

I guess some motorists still don't get it. "Bragging" about their speeding on public roads will never merit sympathy or awe from other responsible motorists

[telecaster]

I agree: if they catch overspeeders, they should catch underspeeders also. That is what irritates me most about driving here. They have the right lane for these vehicles and it is also a discipline/etiquette for these drivers.

I travel on SLEX almost everyday. If the shoulder is for "emergency" purposes only, then the PNCC should "practice what you preach." No one should be traveling in the shoulder lane period. Traveling at super slow speeds is not safe for other drivers who try to merge into faster lanes. In turn, they give reason for drivers to use the shoulder to overtake. Another type of enforcement that should be implemented is catching smoke beltchers.

[squatt3r]

dapat sa national road lang yung mga mababagal magdrive or mabagal yung auto.

[niky]

RE: NLEX Enforcers... kung ganyan ang training, I'd like to apply... ...now if only the SLEX Enforcers would receive the same orientation... argh... driving in the Emergency lane at 20-30 km/h... counterflowing (I've seen a few motorcycle patrols do this)...ekh.

At least they do catch people besides the odd shoulder-lover... at night they stop trucks with defective lights. ...and to be fair, most of them don't attempt to mulch you, either

Siguro, with the current upgrading and new toll rates, they'll be able to afford better vehicles and training for SLEX enforcers.

The new even get a digital photograph with a red dot on the target vehicle and information about the speed of that vehicle with date and time.

They should have a paintball gun on it, too, to mark the target... ...makes you wonder, though, what radar the Philippine enforcers are using?

[XTO]

good they're doing their job. even at 80-100 kph hindi na rin biro

ang collision if ever magkaroon man. i think para sa safety ng lahat

yan.

[Driv3er]

kung mag-e-enforce sila ng speed limit, dapat mag enforce din sila ng minimum speeds, daming sobrang bagal na kotse sa SLEX/NLEX, mas delikado nga yun sa speeding.

maniniwala na sana ako sa yo bro eh kaso 70 kph paatras doing an obstacle course? kahit siguro straight na paatras lang yan eh di aabot ng 70 kph bro!

and taking a spill at 70 kph on a bike? man that is fatal! kahit na full gears ka eh may chance pa rin na mamatay ka dun... I dont think that their salary is enough to partake a training like that....

Palagay Ko Nakwento Yan Ng Tropoa Niya Habang Nag Iinuman Sila Hehe :d

Tell me about it.

I was last in a long line of cars one night on the SLEX, trundling along between 60-80 km/h (minimum speed limit is 60, mind you). I usually give two to three cars distance between myself and the car in front. Since the car in front of me was a truck, I gave three or more, as I couldn't see around him.

This idiot comes out of the Susana Heights exit, and, without checking, merges into our lane at 30 km/h.

I think I saw the truck skitter sideways a bit... scary sh*t.

In the meantime, this guy, completely clueless to the carnage behind him, proceeds to trundle along at 40 km/h... I'm sure a lot of us wanted to kill him at about that time.

waw totoo pala to? last month i used nlex goin to bulacan, exit tabang. and i was running 250+kph for about 10 mins. wala naman ng huli saken. wala mashado sasakyan that time. it was a sunday afternoon. thanks for the warning
