Does the ETC card need to be inserted all the time?

[SanKate]

ETC card does not need to be inserted all the time. It only needs to be inserted into the OBU device when passing through highway toll stations, and can be removed when not in use. Since the ETC card is a chip card, repeated insertion and removal may affect the sensitivity of the chip, so it is not recommended to frequently insert and remove the ETC card. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. It uses dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, combined with computer networking technology and bank background settlement processing, to achieve the purpose of vehicles paying highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through toll stations.
