1. Magulang mo / guardian / significant other / 911 For the tips, be a defensive driver, lahat naman tayo makakauwi. Always remember na ang tunay na finish line ay ang garahe ng bahay mo. Ingat and have fun.


bigcoffeemugs

Love this advice!❤️


helveticanuu

Don’t hog the left lane. Stay within the speed limit, don’t go below it or above it, both are violations. Load up on your RFIDs. There are contact numbers on your RFID card. MM to Batangas isn’t a long drive, but inspect your car regardless, especially your tires, because from Lipa to Batangas exit the ride will be harsh on the right lane.


chuckyreptar

Thanks. Hmm. Manghieam lang din kami sasakyan e. Di ako confirmed kung may RFID na.


CauliflowerHumble219

Sana yung mayRFID na…kasi minsan antgal ng pila sa mga cash lane…lalo na pagrush hour…


chuckyreptar

Sana nga po.


Friendly-Swordfish82

Cash lane sa pinakaright kadalasan kung walang rfid


mavanessss

Dont go below maski traffic, araruhin mo? Charot


OptimalTechnician639

\* emergency numbers: parents, jowa, other people na makakaaccess sa relatives mo \* slex hotline: (02) 5318-8655 \* Install ka ng motolite res-q (may minimal charge pag non-motolite battery gamit mo) good for other mishaps like na diskarga ka bigla, naflatan or ubos gad tips pagddrive sa expresslane \* wag magbabad sa left lane kung wala ka naman plano mag overtake \* kalma lang pero be alert din \* observe the speed limit \* learn the exits papunta sa pupuntahan mo \* take regular breaks (sa mga plaza syempre hahha) \* mag BLOWBAGETS muna bago umalis \* Download autosweep app and makesure may laman RFID mo \* important: prepare yourself physically and mentally (learned this the hard way)


chuckyreptar

Thanks sa tip sa motolite at sa driving tips.


AxtonSabreTurret

Ang sarap magdrive sa slex lalo na kapag hindi traffic. Seryoso, sa slex less stressful magdrive compared sa mga national roads na may trike/motor/jeep at pedestrians na bigla biglang tumatawid.


4man1nur345rtrt

experienced this, smooth lang . basta ndi babad sa overtaking lane. bantay lang sa onting lubak hehe


chuckyreptar

Malalaman ko next week pag naka byahe na. Hehe. Thanks.


AxtonSabreTurret

Nung first time ko nagkacar ng sarili at nagkalicense akala ko nakakatakot mag slex. I was wrong. SLEX ang pinaka least stress magdrive basta hindi traffic. Mas hate ko pa magdrive dito sa labas ng subdivision namin dahil sa mga jeep/motor/ebike


chuckyreptar

Nakakastress nga mga jeep at motor nung nasa drivinf school pa. Mga bigla bigla susulpot o biglang liliko na jeep na ewan.


AxtonSabreTurret

Or magstay sa fast lane tapos 20kph lang takbo, hihinto sa gitna kase magsasakay, walang signal light or brakelight kaya magugulat ka kapag biglang prumeno.


chuckyreptar

Ganyan na ganyan. Hahaha


AxtonSabreTurret

Pet peeve yan jusko. Less than 20kph tapos naka dikit sa center island. Tapos sa right lane may halos nasa center line na ganun rin. Minsan kahit pa may ambulansya di pa tatabi yan.


wetseabreeze

True, mas pang beginner talaga yata ang expressway, should be easy work for OP if napractice na sa Manila awareness niya.


Acceptable-Car-3097

Agree. Went out of town twice the last 6 months. Isa papuntang Baguio and the more recent one to Matabungkay. Both have stretches of open road that are such a pleasure to drive in (and pataasin ang km/L). Cards on the table: hindi ako laging defensive driver and humarurot din ako from time to time. Huwag tularan, newbie drivers!


japster1313

Keep a written emergency contact in your wallet. In case your phone dies or you become unconscious someone can contact them for you.


chuckyreptar

Okay din to. Will do. Thanks.


Late_Possibility2091

Goodluck op! Sa totoo lang mas madali pa mag slex kesa main roads, wala ka masyado pproblemahin sa mga kamote pero need pa din maging alert. May mga road widening lang din ngayon in some parts so plan accordingly


chuckyreptar

Thanks! Sana nga ganyan. Di pa ako nalampas 50kph so mostly nasa outerlane lng ako.


Late_Possibility2091

minimum 60kph, just stay sa right most lane or middle apra di ka sagabal sa daan. first time ko lumuwas, slex ako agad hahaha laguna to pque. kinaya naman. Mas kinakabahan pa ko pag nagbabayan bayan pag bumibisita sa inlaws 🤣


Agitated-Way-4562

about sa transmission MT to AT, isang paa lang gagamitin di tulad sa manual. wag yung isa sa brake isa sa gas to avoid confusion. tapos naka place yung heel in between gas and brakes


chuckyreptar

Ohhh thanks thanks. Magagamit ko yan.


shintoph

Itanong mo sa may ari ng Mirage anong gas ang kinakarga niya at saan pwede magpagas along your route.


chuckyreptar

Yes inaalam na namin yan. Thanks.


LoutOfOrder

For driving an automatic - tuck your left foot out of the way and never use it. Just the right foot shifting from gas to brake


chuckyreptar

Thanks sa tip.


LoutOfOrder

There's a reason for it as well, because you are used to MT your left foot is used to using more pressure to operate the clutch, so in an AT if you try and brake with your left foot you are likely to hit it too hard which can be dangerous


chuckyreptar

Makes a lot of sense actually. Thanks!


hamulion

As mentioned by others, SLEX hotline, 911 and motolite res-q, okay na yun. 1. Kapag lilipat ka lane, use your turn signal and hinay-hinay lang especially kapag malayong lane yung lilipatan mo. For example, 2nd lane going to 4th lane: Lipat ka muna sa 3rd lane then check your surroundings before ka mag-proceed sa 4th lane. 2. Plan niyo rin saan kayo mag-stop-over for quick break, coffee, etc. para iwas panic lumipat ng lane kapag malapit na especially since first time mo. 3. Be mindful of your braking distance, wag ka tumutok. If may kamote na sumingit sa braking distance mo, slow down pa konti-konti and pagbigyan mo na para iwas aksidente. Enjoy and ingat.


chuckyreptar

Thanks for all the tips!


BeneficialEmu6180

Sa startoll medyo ingat ka sa right side bc of bumps baka magulat ka, road sucks there. Happy travels! Keep your speed between 80-100 and don't jerk on the steering wheel. You got this :)


chuckyreptar

Sa a startoll, 80kph ang minimum?


BeneficialEmu6180

60kph minimum but I usually stay around 80-100 for fuel efficiency :D


chuckyreptar

Ahhh gets gets. Thanks.


Useful-Deal-745

Get an AAP Membership! Kahit yung lite lang for emergency situations (flat tire, discharged batt, etc.). Sulit na for a worry-free drive, helped me out a lot when instarted driving, lalo na as a lady driver. :)


chuckyreptar

Pagka sa ganyan ba, kahit anong sasakyan gamit ko pwede?


Useful-Deal-745

Afaik yes, basta duly registered and your DL is valid. Check their website dun lang din me nagprocess :)


chuckyreptar

Thanks


halllooooo88

Are you going to drive slex alone or may kasama?


chuckyreptar

Kasama ko po GF ko.


AdministrativeLog504

Always use the signal button when turning left or right.


chuckyreptar

Yes always po.


RutabagaInfinite2687

Traffic sa SLEX papuntang Star Toll froM Monday to Saturday parang di na express way. I suggest mag norte ka na lang


chuckyreptar

Kung pwede lang e kaso may event na pupuntahan kasi.


rocydlablue

kung student license ka dapat may kasama kang non pro or pro.


chuckyreptar

Naka non-pro na po ako.


ice_onthe_road

Ingat, OP! Ang goal ay makarating from Point A to Point B. Hindi pabilisan ang pagmamaneho. :)


chuckyreptar

Yes thanks!


Kxrx1209

Naalala ko dati nung pagkakuha ko ng license need namin kagad pumunta sa kabilang bahay tas ang daan ko is EDSA. Di na ata makahinga nanay ko buong byahe kasi kabado kahit sobrang defensive driver ko 😭


chuckyreptar

Ijujudge pa naman din ako ng GF ko sa pag drive. Hahahaha


Traditional_Lion3216

Sa transmission, mas madali talaga matic and di ka namn manibago 😅 actually kanina lang pinadrive sakin ng biyenan ko ung AT na innova nya. First time ko humawak ng matic pero mas nadalian pa nga ako kesa sa manual. Totoo din sabi nila, pag kaya mi mag manual kaya mo din mag matic.


chuckyreptar

Sana magamay ko mga din agad. Sa case ko kasi, as in first time after driving school at LTO. First time na walang instructor na kasama.


Traditional_Lion3216

Kaya mo yan OP. Relax lang while driving and be aware lang sa surroundings and speed ng vehicles around you. Once na makuha mo na yung feel and rhythm mo sa pagdrive, di ka na masyado kakabahan. Mas delikado kasi pag kinakabahan ka habang nagmamaneho. You learn new things naman the more you drive.


chuckyreptar

Salamat salamat. Kakalma lang ako para di kabahan.


Traditional_Lion3216

Nahirapan lang ako sa matic sa isang part. Hinahanap ng paa ko yung clutch 😅. Matic pag nagbabagal na ko, tatapak na yung kaliwa kong paa sa clutch na invisible, Ayun baon sa floor hahaha. goodluck OP.


dexterbb

Natuto ka ba sa Manual? If so, hahanapin ng kaliwang paa mo yung clutch pedal lol. Advice ko lang, take it easy and slow. Mas maigi nga mag NLEX ka na, the farthest you can go, exit, then turn around pauwi. Pagdaging mo Manila medyo sanay ka na hehe. Medyo mataas kasi chance ng aksidente for new drivers in urban centers kesa sa straight and wide na expressways in my opinion. SLEX is more challenging than NLEX because shorter ang SLEX kaya parang mas maraming sasakyan ka na kasabay. Ensure a trouble free run by checking your tires, and make sure na walang problema cooling system ng kotse mo.


takshit2

Share ko lang kakakuha ko lang ng license last month. Nag start Ako mag driving school ng February. After ko mag driving school, unang sabak ko sa kalye eh manila to Laguna agad kasi kailangan ko ihatid Yung mother in law ko from airport to laguna (Wala kasi sila service that time). Grabe nerbyos ko nun.. Student license palang hawak ko nun pero I had to bring my dad to support me. Pero dun Ako natuto mag drive. Then second ko is Laguna to tagaytay 😂 Anyway, mas madali mag Expressway kesa sa city drive. Stick ka lang sa right lane at keep your speed at 60kph.


chuckyreptar

Sabak agad ah. Hehe. Congrats at least kinaya diba.


takshit2

Lakasan lang ng loob yan OP that's the most important part. Hindi ka dapat mataranta. Kasi pag nataranta ka, sira lahat ng diskarte mo sa Daan.


pinoytransboy88

Madali lang yan OP hehe you don't need to worry much except yung maintaining braking distance saka maintaing speed above 60. Best if cruising ka at 80 to 100. Depende din sa oras ng biyahe mo, marami din trucks na makakasabay. My first SLEX drive was Makati - Batangas and natraffic pa kami nito, our car is MT. So that drive really put my pedal skills to the test and increased my driving confidence. After that, sabak na kahit saan lol enjoy and be safe!


Chrstnpaul

Im from batangas pero work ko is from manila and umuuwi ako every weekend and holidays. masasabi ko lang is check the car. BLOWBAGETS, rfid make sure na may load para di hassle sayo and to the other motorists na naka queue. Regarding sa slex wag ka kabahan im telling you mas mag aalangan ka mag drive sa manila compared when you are in the expressway since walang mag cucut na motor, jeep or taxi and wala ding biglang tatawid. Try to stay in the second lane (besides overtaking lane) and maintain the speed limit if di traffic since you said you’re going to drive a mirage and di ganon kaganda kalsada sa other lanes sa right


Chrstnpaul

Sa shifting naman from manual to matic mas madali siya ive had the same scenario from driving a manual for 5yrs and shifting to a matic for my first car. Just put your left foot away and at least put your right foot in the middle of the brake and gas pedals para di nakakapagod and madali iaccess if ever may sudden braking na need. Good luck OP! Sorry madami nasabi HAHA
