How to Install ETC on a Private Car?

1 Answers

ETC can be processed at bank branches or highway service areas. After installing the ETC device at the service point, professional staff will assist with the installation. Required documents include the vehicle owner's valid ID card and the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not processed by the owner, the agent must also provide their valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a Postal Savings credit card application form is required, as the credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After receiving the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS slip to claim and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated Postal Savings branches, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, meaning electronic toll system. Below are some considerations for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Installing it on the right side behind the rearview mirror avoids obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or where the solar panel might be blocked. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield presses the lever in. If removed, the lever will pop out, triggering the switch and locking the electronic tag, rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism prevents multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at speeds up to 20 km/h; exceeding this speed may result in failed transactions due to unreadable device information. If using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause transaction failure.

Is It Legal to Install a Tow Hook?

Illegal. If a tow hook is installed without authorization, during the periodic inspection of the vehicle, the external inspection will fail because parameters such as the vehicle's length have been altered. Additionally, traffic police will require the owner to immediately restore the vehicle to its original condition. Below is relevant information: 1. Issues with installing a tow hook: After installing a tow hook, it can indeed reduce damage when the car is rear-ended, but this will increase the damage to the following vehicle. It is advised that car owners should not install tow hooks privately. 2. Consequences of issues: If your vehicle, after installing a tow hook, collides with another vehicle, the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation.

How Many Bottles of Antifreeze Should Be Added at One Time?

Replacing antifreeze requires 2 bottles. First, it is necessary to inspect the car for any signs of leakage. If any leakage is detected, it should be addressed promptly to avoid potential hazards caused by antifreeze leakage while driving. Additional Information: After cleaning, new antifreeze can be added. When adding antifreeze, it is important to monitor the amount continuously to avoid overfilling, which could affect driving safety. Fill the antifreeze reservoir until it is nearly full, then start the engine and wait for 10 minutes. During this time, the cooling system will expel some air, causing the fluid level to drop slightly. Add more antifreeze as needed to maintain the fluid level between the min and max marks.

What does self-application for pre-selected license plate numbers mean?

Self-application for pre-selected license plate numbers refers to the process of applying for a self-designed license plate number. Here is relevant information about self-application for pre-selected license plate numbers: 1. Rules for self-editing license plate numbers: (1) You can directly edit a license plate number and verify whether it is available. If the number is available, the system will immediately confirm it, and the selection process ends. If the number is not available, it means the verification has failed. You have a total of 20 chances for failed verifications (the exact number may vary by region, with 20 being the minimum). (2) New number segments are randomly added to the self-editing pool 7 days after being introduced into the random pool. The exact timing of this addition is not disclosed. (3) It is recommended to prepare 20 desired license plate numbers in advance. Check the auspiciousness of each number online based on your birth details and keep the 20 best numbers. Then, input them in groups of five, ordered from highest to lowest preference. This increases the chances of selecting your desired number. 2. Methods for selecting license plate numbers: Due to the nationwide license plate selection system, all third-party selection methods have been canceled. You can only choose from 50 randomly generated numbers at the selection window or pre-select a number on the internet platform 12123. The internet pre-selection includes both self-editing and random methods.

Can a Tire Repaired After Being Punctured by a Nail Be Used on Highways?

Tires repaired after being punctured by a nail are not recommended for highway use. Below are specific scenarios where highway driving is not advised: 1. Sidewall puncture: After repair, it is not recommended to drive on highways, regardless of the repair method, due to safety risks. The sidewall is thin and lacks steel belts, consisting only of two layers of fabric cords and rubber. A punctured sidewall under high-speed conditions, where tires endure significant pressure, greatly increases the risk of a blowout. 2. Large puncture hole: If the puncture exceeds 6mm after repair, highway driving is not recommended. 3. Multiple punctures: If the same tire has been punctured and repaired more than twice, highway use is not advisable.

What does it mean when a car has resonance?

Resonance in a car refers to the phenomenon where the vehicle experiences intense body shaking when driving at a certain speed, as the vibration frequency of the car reaches the resonance frequency. It describes a physical system vibrating with greater amplitude at specific frequencies, known as resonance frequencies. At these frequencies, even small periodic vibrations can produce significant oscillations because the system stores kinetic energy. When resistance is minimal, the resonance frequency is approximately equal to the system's natural or inherent frequency. Every car has a resonance point, and the speed at which resonance occurs varies. Generally, the higher the speed at which resonance occurs, the better the quality of the car is considered to be.

Can I still drive with 12 points on my license?

No, you must participate in a training course before you can drive again. According to relevant laws in China, if the accumulated points reach 12 within one cycle, the motor vehicle driver's license will be detained by the public security department. The motor vehicle driver should report to the traffic management department of the public security organ at the license issuing location or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day training on road traffic safety laws and related knowledge. Additional information: 1. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within one scoring cycle, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security organ at the license issuing location or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day training on road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge. 2. After completing the training, the vehicle management office should conduct a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge within 20 days.
