What does 'cheating ETC' mean?
2 Answers
Cheating ETC refers to the act of squeezing in front of an ETC-equipped vehicle when the ETC lane opens, taking advantage of the gap to enter first. Here is an introduction to ETC-related content: 1. ETC can automatically identify vehicles. 2. ETC operates via an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield. 3. ETC uses dedicated short-range communication between the tag and the microwave antenna in the toll station's ETC lane. 4. Vehicles can pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees. Below are extended instructions on how to check ETC toll deduction records: 1. Open WeChat, search for ETC, and click to open the official account. 2. On the opened interface, click on 'Highway ETC' at the bottom. 3. On the redirected page, click on the 'Bill Inquiry' option. 4. Enter your personal information and bind your account. 5. Select a bill to inquire about. 6. On the redirected page, click on 'View Monthly Statement' at the bottom. 7. You can then view detailed toll deduction records.
Oh, I've seen this ETC tailgating thing several times - it's when some drivers try to evade tolls at highway checkpoints. Last time I was on the expressway, the car in front clearly had an ETC device installed, but the vehicle behind followed so closely that the system couldn't react in time. This trick often happens at busy toll stations where the rear car slips through right after the front vehicle pays. While it might seem like saving money, this behavior is totally unethical - it creates safety hazards like rear-end collisions from following too close, and offenders risk getting caught by cameras with hefty fines. Honestly, such petty tricks aren't worth it. Just pay your fair share properly - getting your own ETC card is way more convenient anyway, plus you get discounts. Responsible driving is about civility and safety - risking trouble for small savings just doesn't add up.
