Can ETC cards still be stolen?
1 Answers
ETC cards have the risk of being stolen, so it is recommended to remove the ETC card when parking to prevent theft. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front that has stopped, to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to a failed deduction. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to become invalid. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was processed or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card to bind with ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to a failed deduction. You can follow the guidance of the on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card to pass. Poor sensing due to overly thick car windshield. Especially for vehicles that have undergone repairs or replacement of the windshield after an accident, or for those who have modified the front windshield, extra attention is needed.
