Can I choose not to use the ETC installed in my car?

[Gale]

If you have an ETC, you can choose not to use the manual lanes on highways. Since manual highway lanes are not equipped with ETC sensors, you can naturally use the manual lanes to take a card and pay. There are also two ways to take a card in the manual lane: one is for a professional staff member to give you the card, and the other is for the driver to self-serve by taking a card from the card dispenser. When passing through the toll station, you must slow down and proceed in order, and never cause congestion by cutting in line. ETC is the abbreviation for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, you also need to bring the valid ID card of the agent. The photocopy of the driving license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. You also need a bank card for deducting highway tolls, and the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old, with the vehicle registered under their name. How ETC works: Through the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Using computer networking technology, it settles accounts with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll. Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and pollution; Saves wear and tear: Reduces costs, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, and reduces wear and fuel consumption; Improves efficiency: The ETC lane theoretically increases passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
