Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. The ETC toll collection method: Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the onboard RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses internet technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a 'pass first, pay later' approach. ETC application requirements are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; Postal credit card application form. This credit card is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated postal outlets. No fees are charged during this process; Be between 18 and 60 years old; Own a vehicle under a personal name. Below are precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and do not place it where the solar panel might be blocked. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-tamper lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed toll deductions. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction failures.

Why is the electronically injected diesel car slow to accelerate and lacks explosive power?

Here is the relevant introduction to the slow acceleration and lack of explosive power in electronically injected diesel cars: 1. Reasons for slow acceleration and lack of explosive power in electronically injected diesel cars: For example, the presence of water in the fuel system leads to incomplete combustion of fuel; excessive carbon deposits adsorb part of the fuel, causing an abnormal air-fuel mixture ratio and incomplete combustion; severe wear of pistons, piston rings, and cylinders increases the clearance between them, reducing sealing performance, which results in cylinder head leakage and lowers cylinder compression pressure, among other issues. 2. Advantages of electronically injected diesel cars: Compared to earlier models, modern electronically injected diesel cars have significantly improved power, greatly reduced noise, and noticeably enhanced driving comfort for drivers. The application of automotive power self-diagnosis technology makes the fuel injection timing more precise and the noise smaller. The intercooled turbocharging ensures more complete fuel combustion. Additionally, after the car starts, the influence of turbo inertia means the faster it runs, the more fuel-efficient it becomes, and the more powerful the performance.

Will speeding on an off-ramp result in penalty points?

Speeding on an off-ramp will result in penalty points. The relevant penalty mechanisms for speeding on highways and national roads are as follows: 1. Speeding less than 10%: A warning will be issued, with no penalty points or fines, and no need to undergo processing. 2. Speeding between 10% and 20%: 3 penalty points will be deducted, and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. 3. Speeding between 20% and 50%: 6 penalty points will be deducted, and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. 4. Speeding more than 50%: 12 penalty points will be deducted at once, with a fine of 500 yuan. Then, as the speeding rate increases, the fine amount will gradually double until the speeding rate exceeds 100%, at which point the fine amount will be capped at 2000 yuan.

What details should be paid attention to in the Subject 3 driving test?

Subject 3 driving test requires attention to the following details: 1. Pre-test preparation: Walk around the vehicle before getting in, and pause briefly near the monitoring area. After entering the car, fasten the seat belt first, then adjust the seat and rearview mirrors. 2. Light simulation: Before starting the simulation test, check if the light switch is reset. Confirm that all lights are completely turned off before beginning the test, especially if the previous candidate failed the light test. If two adjacent voice commands use the same light setting, no action is needed after hearing the current command; simply wait for the next instruction. 3. Starting off: Always observe the surrounding traffic environment before starting. After starting, merge into the left lane as soon as possible, straighten the vehicle body, accelerate, and shift to second gear. Failing to merge for an extended period will result in immediate failure. 4. During driving: Keep your eyes focused straight ahead, looking as far as possible, while constantly monitoring the movement of the vehicle in front to avoid following too closely.

How Many Months Must a Full Tank of Gasoline Be Used Up Within at Most?

A full tank of gasoline must be used up within three months at most. Here are the specific details: 1. Time: The shelf life of gasoline in a car's fuel tank is three months. 2. Reason: Due to gasoline's lower density compared to diesel, lower ignition point than diesel, and higher volatility than diesel, its shelf life is shorter than that of diesel. Here is some additional information: 1. Introduction and Function: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled and cracked from petroleum, used as fuel. 2. Main Components: The main components are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. 3. Classification: Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified by octane ratings such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95.

Where to Find the Date on Michelin Tires?

You can check the production date of Michelin tires by locating the DOT marking on the tire sidewall. The last four digits following this marking indicate the production date of the Michelin tire. The first two digits represent the week of production within the year, while the last two digits indicate the production year. Here are methods to identify genuine Michelin tires: 1. Observe the tread pattern color and gloss: The quality of a tire can be discerned by examining the color and gloss of its tread pattern. Genuine tires have a layered tread pattern with slight angles, whereas counterfeit tires have hollow patterns lacking depth. New tires exhibit a natural blue hue on the tread surface, while retreaded tires appear overly glossy. 2. Inspect the tread studs and computer lines: Authentic Michelin tires have clear and distinct tread studs and computer lines, whereas counterfeit tires may appear blurry or lack these features entirely. 3. Examine the tire: Check if the brand lettering is complete and free from signs of grinding. Verify the presence of the mandatory national CCC certification on the sidewall, along with clear markings of specifications, speed rating, load index, and other details. 4. Locate the minimum tread wear indicator: All tires feature a horizontal minimum tread wear indicator, typically a 1.6mm raised bar. 5. Check the certification: Legitimate Michelin tires sold through official channels usually come with a certification label attached to the tire's tag.

What Are the Differences Between Urban Roads and Highways?

Urban roads and highways have the following differences: 1. They belong to different administrative systems: urban roads fall under the transportation system, while highways are managed by the construction and housing system. 2. Their typical working environments differ: urban roads are usually located in mountainous or rural areas, whereas highways are commonly found in urban or market areas. Additional information on urban roads and highways is as follows: 1. Urban road density refers to the total length of roads per unit area within an administrative region. Medium-sized cities have a road density of 5.2-6.6 km, while large cities with populations over 2 million have a density of 5.4-7.1 km. 2. Expressways are designed to accommodate an annual average daily traffic (AADT) of over 25,000 vehicles. They hold significant political and economic importance, are exclusively for high-speed, continuous, and segregated vehicle traffic, feature full-grade interchanges and controlled access, and primarily serve long-distance transportation. 3. Class I highways can handle an AADT of 5,000-25,000 vehicles. They connect major political and economic centers, provide access to key industrial zones, allow for rapid segregated vehicle movement, and feature partial access control and grade-separated interchanges. 4. Class II highways can accommodate an AADT of 2,000-5,000 vehicles (converted to medium-duty trucks). They link political and economic hubs or large industrial zones and serve as heavily trafficked suburban roads. They typically have four lanes (two in each direction). 5. Class III highways can handle an AADT of fewer than 2,000 vehicles (converted to medium-duty trucks). They serve as general arterial roads connecting counties or linking counties to cities. These roads usually have two lanes, with a width of 8.5 meters in flat areas and 7.5 meters in hilly regions. 6. Class IV highways can accommodate an AADT of fewer than 200 vehicles (converted to medium-duty trucks). They function as feeder roads connecting counties to towns or villages. For example, the old Bingchacha Road in the new Yunnan-Tibet corridor is 3-4.5 meters wide, has a gravel base, and is considered a simple road.
