One of the last remaining must drive series in my list has come true. Driving beginning from STAR Tollway Balagtas / Batangas Rotunda towards TPLEX Rosario Rotunda via SLEX Skyway and the newly opened Skyway Stage3, NLEX, SCTEX and TPLEX. I put a timer counter to count the actual travel time. Majority of the drive is under automated cruise control driving and speed varies from 95 to 100 kph and 60kph along the Skyway stage 3. There was a stop over and we paused the counter on a gasoline station (bladder break and tire PMS) and one stop over on Balintawak Toll Plaza due to lost easytrip card (we also paused the counter). This is the longest video I have uploaded on my channel and the biggest file size also. This is one of my ultimate joyride series that I have been planning for many many years, now with the opening of Skyway Stage 3 the seamless travel from Southern Tagalog to Ilocos region is a reality. At the end of the video I included the toll fee I have shell out minus Skyway Stage 3 since it is still under soft opening. My dream drive finally come true! Wishing for better transportation and mobility.
It wont be a dmitrivalencia channel without a typo error lol
Hate the Tire pressure monitoring noise, it pestered my travel the whole time...
