Is it necessary to apply for ETC if I rarely drive on highways?

It is necessary to apply for ETC. According to the regulations of the State Council, vehicles without ETC installed by 2020 will not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, and vehicles will have to pay tolls through manual lanes. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they must be activated first. During holiday free-toll periods, ETC users can still use highways, and passing through ETC lanes will not incur charges for those who have already installed ETC. The principle of ETC toll deduction: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through microwave dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the computer network technology is used to settle accounts with the bank in the background, achieving the purpose of vehicles not needing to stop at toll stations to pay road and bridge fees. 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: Green and 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, and lowers wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of passing through ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and higher-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 smart cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also explicitly set the goal in the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period that "by 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with intelligent transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications.

Can Scooter Motorcycles Run Long Distances?

Scooter motorcycles can run long distances, but it's not as convenient, and several aspects should be noted: 1. The fuel tank capacity of scooters is generally small, with 4 to 6 liters of fuel typically providing a range of 200 to 300 kilometers. It's essential to monitor the fuel level constantly, as refueling on long trips may not be very convenient. 2. 125cc scooters have low ground clearance and small wheels, making them less convenient when encountering potholes or uneven road surfaces. Scooter motorcycles are continuously variable transmission (CVT) and do not have gears, so naturally, there is no gear display. The starting and acceleration of a scooter motorcycle are entirely controlled by the throttle. After starting, simply twisting the throttle to bring the engine speed to around two thousand to nearly three thousand RPM will allow the scooter to start moving, without the need to engage the clutch or shift gears as with regular motorcycles.

What causes the left side to cross the line during right reverse parking?

The reasons for the left side crossing the line during right reverse parking are: 1. The car body is not straightened before entering the garage, and the steering wheel is returned too late; 2. The reference point is observed too late when entering the garage, causing the car to be off-center. There are two types of reverse parking: left reverse parking and right reverse parking. When reverse parking at the garage entrance, observe the rearview mirror to compare the distance between the rear of the car and the garage corner at the control line of the garage entrance. Generally, a foot-length distance is just right to turn the steering wheel back. Reverse parking involves maneuvering the vehicle to correctly reverse into the garage from both sides. It is a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license after 2013, mainly assessing the driver's ability to operate the car in a confined space.
