Can the ETC card be removed on the highway?
1 Answers
Highway ETC card can be removed. For ETC cards without financial functions, they can be inserted into the ETC electronic tag. ETC cards with financial functions do not need to be placed in the ETC device when not in use to avoid unnecessary losses. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a stationary vehicle ahead, to prevent the ETC device failure of the vehicle ahead or the absence of an ETC device, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic sensing and payment for the vehicle ahead. The speed for ETC lane recognition is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to payment failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or looseness 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 issued or the highway service office for testing. For non-artificial looseness or detachment, only reactivation is needed. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to payment failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane, and pass by cash or card. Poor sensing due to overly thick car windshield. Especially for vehicles that have undergone accident repairs and had their windshields replaced, or for those who have modified their front windshields, attention is needed.
