Does the ETC application require the vehicle owner in person?

1 Answers

It is possible to apply for ETC even if you are not the vehicle owner. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Toll Collection on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp) are required. If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also needed. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a debit card or credit card from the corresponding bank must be prepared. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a certain amount as a deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. ETC charging principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with the bank, the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at the toll station is achieved. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: Low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowers wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy a 5% discount on tolls; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, newer, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased," and explicitly set the goal of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development. More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote the use of ETC for trucks in the future, exploring the deep integration of the ETC system with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-road coordination, and other smart transportation development directions, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, to prevent the vehicle in front from having a faulty ETC device or no ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading to failed fee deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, reactivation is sufficient. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause fee deduction failures. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or card. If the windshield is too thick, it may cause poor sensing. This is especially important for vehicles that have had accidents and had their windshields replaced, or for those who have modified their windshields.

Does passing through a yellow light count as running a red light?

According to Article 38 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China', when the yellow light at an intersection is flashing, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. Passing through a yellow light after crossing the stop line does not count as running a red light. If the yellow light is already on and you continue to force your way through, being caught on camera in such a scenario will count as running a red light. According to the relevant provisions of Article 90 of the 'Regulations on the Handling Procedures for Road Traffic Safety Violations', motor vehicle drivers who do not follow traffic signals will be penalized with 6 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. Criteria for determining a red light violation: Electronic cameras will take 3 photos as the basis for determining a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all 3 photos are present will it be considered a red light violation. If you stop the car after crossing the stop line when the red light is on, even if you have already crossed the line, it will not be considered running a red light but will be classified as stopping beyond the line. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as you might not be able to stop in time and cross the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line or approach an intersection.

What is the size of a 195 tire in inches?

195 tire is 15 inches. Below is relevant knowledge about car tires: Functions of tires: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they mitigate the impacts experienced during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car. The crucial role tires play in vehicles is increasingly being recognized. Classification of tires: Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other four tires on the vehicle, allowing it to replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Compact spare tire (non-full-size spare): This type of spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary replacement. It can only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80km/h.

Why is there no sound when playing music via connected car Bluetooth?

There are several reasons why there might be no sound when your phone is connected to the car's Bluetooth: the volume on the car navigation system or phone is not turned on, the music playback programming on the phone is incompatible with the car model's pairing code, Bluetooth signal interference, or multimedia music is not enabled. Volume on the car navigation system or phone is not turned on: If the volume is not turned on, you won't hear any sound. The solution is to go to the phone's "Settings" - "Sound," find the "Media" option, and turn up the "Media" volume. The same applies to the car navigation system. Music playback programming on the phone is incompatible with the car model's pairing code: Some phones (e.g., iPhone) have music playback programming that is incompatible with certain car models' pairing codes, so you can only make calls but not listen to music. Solution: Try changing the Bluetooth playback frequency band to resolve the issue. Bluetooth signal interference: If the media audio on the phone is not turned off, it may cause Bluetooth signal interference. Solution: Go to the phone's Bluetooth settings and turn off the media audio while keeping the phone audio enabled. Multimedia music is not enabled: Another possible reason is that the multimedia music feature is not enabled on the car's Bluetooth. Solution: Find the multimedia option on the screen, enter it, and select Bluetooth to play music, which should solve the problem.

How Many Amps is 12V?

The working current of a 12V battery depends on its model, i.e., capacity. It is usually marked on the casing. The larger the working current, the shorter the duration. For example, a 20Ah battery discharging at 2 amps can last for 10 hours before needing a recharge. The instantaneous maximum current can reach 70 to 100 amps or even higher. However, it's important to note that excessively high currents can cause problems, including battery explosion. When a battery is severely depleted, it should not be charged using the car's alternator; instead, a portable charger should be used. A 12V battery cannot be equated to a specific milliampere value. Batteries are typically described by two data points: voltage and capacity, e.g., 12V65AH. This is read as '12 volts 65 ampere-hours,' meaning the battery has a voltage of 12V and a capacity of 65 ampere-hours. Milliampere readings represent instantaneous current and do not indicate the battery's capacity. Signs that a battery is fully charged: A large number of bubbles are generated inside the battery, creating a boiling effect. The terminal voltage rises to its maximum and does not increase further within two hours. The electrolyte level rises to its highest point and does not increase further within two hours.

Can you cross a yellow dashed line for overtaking or turning?

You can cross a yellow dashed line for overtaking or turning. Introduction to road yellow lines: Yellow lines are used to separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions, typically painted in the center of the road, acting like a divider that splits the road into two directions. Whether it's a single or double yellow line, if it's solid, crossing is strictly prohibited. Under normal driving conditions, you should not cross the line. Whether it's a single or double yellow line, if it's dashed, you can overtake or make a U-turn when it's safe to do so. Single yellow lines are generally used on roads with up to four lanes (including bicycle lanes), while double yellow lines are used on wider roads. Single yellow line is solid: Crossing is strictly prohibited, including actions like overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Under normal driving conditions, you should not cross the line. Driving over a solid line is not allowed, and making a U-turn is considered a violation of the no-crossing rule, resulting in a 3-point penalty. Single yellow line is dashed: You can overtake or make a U-turn when it's safe to do so. A single yellow line serves as a center divider to separate traffic directions. A yellow dashed line allows temporary crossing for lane changes or overtaking during driving, while a solid line should be treated like a wall—absolutely no crossing. Roads with four or more lanes in both directions are marked with double yellow lines, while those with fewer lanes use single yellow lines.

Are All Cars Over 10 Years Old Fuel Inefficient?

Whether cars over 10 years old are fuel inefficient depends on specific circumstances. There are many factors affecting a car's fuel consumption, including external and internal factors. External factors: Driving habits, road conditions, vehicle load, tire pressure, and other factors can all influence a car's fuel consumption. Internal factors: What truly affects a vehicle's fuel consumption is how many strokes the engine makes within a specified time and distance. Strokes refer to the engine's RPM. Therefore, only when both displacement and RPM are low will the car's fuel consumption be lower. These factors are interrelated. Solutions for high fuel consumption: First, check the tires. If the tire pressure is insufficient, fuel consumption will increase. If the tire pressure is normal, inspect the tire wear. Severe tire wear can cause slipping, which also increases fuel consumption. Next, examine the engine. If there is excessive carbon buildup in the engine in a short period, it may be due to using substandard fuel. Add a certain amount of cleaner when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates significant carbon buildup in the engine, which requires cleaning by a 4S shop or repair shop. Finally, if the oxygen sensor is damaged, it will disrupt the air-fuel ratio in the engine, leading to abnormally high fuel consumption. Replace the oxygen sensor as soon as possible.
