1 Answers
ETC in the car can be stolen and swiped. Normally, using ETC is safe, but there is a possibility of theft. ETC is an electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system. It is a road toll method specifically designed for toll roads, commonly seen on highways, bridges or tunnels with toll policies, and certain sections of urban centers to alleviate traffic congestion. Precautions for using ETC include: 1. Maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to prevent automatic sensing from paying for the vehicle ahead; 2. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance may also lead to payment failure; 3. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 kilometers per hour. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the system may fail to read the vehicle's device information, resulting in payment failure.
