Can I Use the ETC by Just Inserting the Card in a Used Car?

[JulianaLee]

Having an ETC in a used car does not mean it can be used by simply inserting a card, as ETC is card-specific, and the device won't recognize a different card. Here's an introduction to ETC: ETC (Electronic Toll Collection), translated as electronic toll collection in Chinese, is an automatic toll system for highways or bridges. It uses dedicated short-range communication between an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and a microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. This system, combined with computer networking technology, processes transactions with banks in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll.
