Can ETC still be used after being removed and reinstalled?
1 Answers
It cannot be used normally after being removed and reinstalled. During installation, there is a button at the back of the device that connects to the windshield. Data is only saved when this button is pressed. When the device is removed for the second time, the button pops out, triggering the reset mechanism and clearing all data. As a result, the device becomes unusable, and a reinstallation is required. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. To apply for ETC, the following documents are required: the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID and driving license. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. For company vehicles, the required documents include: an introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal), a photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal), the original ID of the proxy, the original vehicle driving license, and the vehicle that needs ETC. How ETC works: The vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. The computer network technology then settles the payment with the bank, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Avoids the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: Reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption by minimizing vehicle starts and stops. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
