Can You Drive on the Highway Without ETC?

1 Answers

Yes, cars without ETC can drive on the highway because ETC is not mandatory. Since January 1, 2020, vehicles without ETC are no longer eligible for various toll reduction benefits and can only pass through toll stations via manual lanes to pay the toll. This might be inconvenient during holidays. ETC is just a different method of toll collection and does not affect the ability to drive on the highway. There are two methods of toll collection on highways: manual toll collection and ETC toll collection. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If someone else is applying on behalf of the owner, they must also bring their own valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under their name. How ETC works: The system uses an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield to communicate with microwave antennas in the ETC lane at toll stations. It then performs background settlements with banks via computer networking technology, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions since vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping. Cost-saving: Reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption by minimizing frequent starts and stops. Users also enjoy toll discounts. Increased efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically improve traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

How to Identify Whether It's a Stock Car?

When purchasing a car, you can determine whether it's a new car or a stock car by checking the vehicle nameplate, tire wear, and manufacturing date. The vehicle nameplate is usually located below the B-pillar on the passenger side, mainly including the manufacturer's brand, model, engine power, total weight, manufacturing number, manufacturing date, and manufacturer name. Check the manufacturing month and year. If the manufacturing date is within three months of the purchase date, it is not a stock car. If it exceeds three months, it can basically be considered a stock car. Generally, new car tires show little to no wear, and the tire hairs on the sidewalls are clearly visible. If you notice the absence of tire hairs, pay attention and then check the tire's manufacturing date. There is a string of numbers on the tire sidewall, with the latter group representing the manufacturing year and the former group representing the week, allowing you to calculate the tire's manufacturing date. Then, compare it with the vehicle's manufacturing date on the nameplate. If the dates are close, it proves it's not a stock car. If there's a significant time difference, you need to be cautious.

What does the 'a' symbol in the car mean?

a symbol is the automatic start-stop indicator. There is an automatic start-stop indicator light on the car's dashboard, as well as an automatic start-stop switch. Both the indicator light and the switch have the letter 'a'. Below is relevant information: 1. Meaning of the automatic start-stop indicator light: Many cars today are equipped with an automatic start-stop function, which can reduce exhaust emissions and save fuel. Cars with this feature have an indicator light on the dashboard. If the automatic start-stop system is functioning properly, the indicator light is usually green. If the system is not working correctly, the indicator light is typically yellow or red. 2. Automatic start-stop does not harm the car: Many car owners worry that the automatic start-stop function may damage the car, but there is no need for concern. The automatic start-stop function only activates when the engine coolant reaches normal operating temperature and the battery has sufficient charge. The primary purpose of the automatic start-stop system is not just to save fuel but to reduce exhaust emissions. With environmental concerns becoming increasingly prominent, major automakers are adopting various measures to lower vehicle emissions.

Which Side to Place the Temporary Parking Number Plate?

The most suitable place for a temporary parking plate is behind the front windshield on the passenger side. Placing it here does not obstruct the driver's view or create blind spots. More details are as follows: To make the temporary parking plate easily visible, it should be placed in a highly noticeable location, which is undoubtedly the lower part of the car's front windshield. Additionally, it must be positioned without affecting driving visibility. Therefore, the optimal location is behind the front windshield on the passenger side. There are also temporary parking plates on the market designed to be placed outside the front windshield, but these are not recommended. While they may work fine for short-term use, prolonged exposure to sun and rain will significantly reduce the adhesive's effectiveness. A temporary parking plate consists of a stand (base), digits, and a brightness LED light. It is a display card made from various materials, designed to show the vehicle owner's contact information for others' convenience, thereby ensuring safe parking. According to Article 62 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations," vehicles temporarily parked outside designated parking areas must adhere to the following rules: Park on the right side of the road in the direction of traffic. The driver must not leave the vehicle, and any vehicle obstructing traffic must move away promptly. Before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, doors must not be opened, and passengers must not enter or exit. Doors must not block other vehicles or pedestrians. Parking is prohibited in the following areas: opposite sidewalks with railings (or green barriers), crosswalks, construction zones (except for construction vehicles), and near obstacles. Parking is also prohibited at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and within 50 meters of these locations.

Which Subject is Most Likely to Fail in the Driving Test Part 2?

In the driving test Part 2, reversing into a parking space is the most complex. Here are specific techniques for the driving test Part 2: 1. Slow speed: Keeping the speed slow is the fundamental rule for practicing in Part 2. Without stalling, try to keep the speed as slow as possible; the slower, the better, as it allows sufficient time to adjust each operation. 2. Adjust the rearview mirrors: After getting into the car, be sure to adjust the rearview mirrors properly, which is particularly important for reversing into a parking space and parallel parking. 3. Master the three-point alignment method: The three points are the driver's eyes, a reference point on the car, and a reference point on the ground. During the operations in Part 2, it's essential to locate the points accurately and observe carefully to ensure precision. 4. Pay attention to the four corners of the car: The front corner is prone to touching the outer line when reversing into a parking space, while the rear corner is prone to touching the side lines of the parking space; the front corner is prone to crossing the line during curve driving; the front corner is prone to crossing the line during a right-angle turn; the front corner is prone to touching the outer line or the left front corner of the parking space during parallel parking, while the right rear corner is prone to touching the right parking space line. Therefore, pay attention to the four corners and the outer lines.

How Many Times Can You Retake the Written Test for Subject 1?

There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free the second time. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test for that day will be terminated, and you can only schedule another test after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for the Subject 1 test is 90 out of 100. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately (no slippers), and electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each test allows one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the test session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five test attempts. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

What causes the third-generation EA888 engine to burn oil?

It is caused by issues with the engine's exhaust gas valve. Below are the relevant details: 1. Exhaust Gas Valve: After engine oil passes through the exhaust gas valve, a portion of the oil flows into the combustion chamber. Inside the combustion chamber, the oil is burned, and the residual impurities accelerate the wear of the engine piston rings, causing the oil rings to lose tension and leading to severe oil burning. 2. Function: The oil used in motor vehicles, also known as engine lubricating oil, serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, as well as assist in cooling and temperature reduction. The oil in a car is often referred to as the 'blood' of the vehicle. Engine oil consists of two main components: additives and base oil.
