Swipe others' ETC belongs to highway toll evasion, according to regulations, there will be penalties for swiping ETC. If you accidentally swipe someone else's ETC, don't panic, just enter the highway directly. When exiting the highway, stop the car and explain the situation to the toll station staff to make up the payment. Ways to prevent ETC swiping: 1. Regularly check the equipment. Frequently check whether the on-board equipment (such as the inserted small box, etc.) is working properly. 2. Slow down. When using ETC to pass through the highway toll station, the owner should slow down. Ensure smooth sensing of information and safe passage of the equipment. 3. Keep distance. The rear car should keep a distance of more than 10 meters from the front car to avoid applying the rear car's information to the front car. Maintain a distance of at least 10 meters between the front and rear cars.
