The Extra Toll For Overloaded Trucks

Comment from a reader on "Road Trains In Subic - A Very Bad Idea":

Have you ever noticed that at the Tipo(SFEX) truck weighing station that you never see any trucks being offloaded for being overweight, which is the law. Instead, the officials there are just taking money from the drivers and the overloaded trucks are then allowed to pass and go on the SCTEX.

That's why the expressway is falling apart and full of potholes even though it has very little traffic. Trucks are so overloaded that they can barely make it up the hill on the expressway and they are always blocking traffic trying to get by. There is supposed to be a minimum speed on all expressways, but of course that's just another law that's not being enforced because somebody is getting paid off.
