With the development of transportation, most car owners have installed ETC equipment. However, many car owners are still confused about ETC knowledge, especially in the application of highway charging. Today, I will give you some precautions about using ETC on highways.
1. Safe driving at the toll station entrance
Vehicles with ETC installed should go through the dedicated ETC lane, and vehicles without ETC should go through the artificial lane. Layout changes are not allowed in front of and within the toll station.
ETC should maintain an appropriate distance and not get too close to the vehicle to avoid the situation where the vehicle is identified first and then pay for the vehicle in front.
2. Driving in high-speed civilized driving
in accordance with the prescribed lane. Do not change the lane at will, nor do you need to unplug the ETC card at will on the way, otherwise it will easily cause abnormal charging.
3.OBU tag
OBU tag is unique to each car, and it corresponds one by one to the vehicle information and bank card information. Illegal disassembly will cause the label to fail and cannot be used normally.
If the vehicle's OBU tag is found to fall off or loosen, the owner needs to reinstall and activate it at the ETC service outlet.
During the use of ETC, many car owners still have these questions:
Does
require annual inspection?
ETC equipment does not require annual inspection. Only cars require annual inspection. Can
ETC card be plugged into other devices?
cannot. ETC users' cars, cards, and electronic tags must be used in conjunction and must not be mixed with each other. ETC users are one car, one card, one device, and multiple cars are not allowed to share one card (or one electronic tag), otherwise they will not be able to use it normally.
How to check OBU electronic tags?
You can try to insert the ETC card to see if you hear the sound. Then, check whether the "Bill Card" or "Balance" is displayed on the OBU device. If so, the ETC function is normal.
Why don’t you lift the pole when you go to the ETC channel?
(1) The car speed is too fast and cannot be sensed, the ETC card is dropped or the electronic tag is invalid.
(2) Lane failure.
(3) The vehicle is included in the "blacklist".
As the country strongly supports the development of ETC, ETC may reach any township in the future, and our travel will be more convenient at that time. Therefore, friends who have problems with ETC use can actively discuss it!
