What are the pros and cons of installing ETC?
1 Answers
The advantages of installing ETC are time-saving, eco-friendliness, reduced wear and tear, and improved efficiency; the disadvantages are limited usability, relatively single functionality, and cumbersome application procedures. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a stationary vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20km/h. Excessive speed may prevent reading vehicle device information, leading to failed fee deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag may render the tag invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. For non-deliberate loosening or detachment, reactivation is sufficient. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause fee deduction failure. Follow on-site staff guidance to use the manual MTC lane with cash or card payment. Excessively thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles that have had windshield replacements after accidents or modifications to the front windshield.
