What are the consequences for vehicles evading tolls by tailgating ETC?
1 Answers
Vehicles found illegally tailgating others' ETC will be blacklisted, prohibiting them from accessing any national highways. Highway authorities will treat such vehicles as 'no-card' users at exit points, charging them the maximum toll based on the longest possible distance of the entire highway route. Below are relevant details: 1. Detail one: ETC, also known as Automatic Road Toll Collection System or Electronic Toll Collection System, is a dedicated road charging method for toll roads. It's commonly implemented on highways, toll bridges/tunnels, and certain urban sections to alleviate traffic congestion. 2. Detail two: The ETC system operates through wireless communication between onboard units (OBUs) installed in vehicles and roadside antennas at toll stations, primarily consisting of Automatic Vehicle Identification systems, Central Management Systems, and auxiliary facilities.
