What is the highway ETC system?

1 Answers

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop tolling system. Highways are equipped with one or more ETC lanes. ETC tolling method: Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the onboard RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the system connects with the bank's backend settlement system via network technology. This allows vehicles to pass through bridge and road toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks issuing such ETC express cards typically operate on a post-payment basis. ETC application requirements are as follows: Provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank debit card application form is required to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the card, the vehicle owner can visit designated bank branches to receive and install the ETC onboard device free of charge, with no additional costs incurred. Applicants must be aged between 18 and 60 and own a vehicle registered under their name. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); a copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); the agent's original ID card; the original vehicle registration certificate; and the vehicle requiring ETC installation. Below are precautions for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best installed behind the rearview mirror. Many vehicle models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC device without considering this may increase blind spots. Placing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side avoids obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the windshield's blacked-out areas or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove the device once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. Once installed, the windshield presses this lever in. If removed, the lever pops out, triggering the switch and locking the electronic tag, rendering it unusable. Unlocking requires visiting an ETC service center. This mechanism prevents multiple vehicles from sharing one device.

How to Buy Car Insurance Cost-Effectively?

Purchasing Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance, No-Deductible Coverage, and Third-Party Commercial Liability Insurance is the most cost-effective option. Below is relevant information about car insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: This insurance is mandatory. According to regulations by relevant national authorities, vehicles without this insurance are not allowed on the road. In other words, a vehicle must at least have this type of insurance. 2. No-Deductible Coverage: When an insurance company settles a claim, it typically covers only 70% of the cost, meaning the remaining 30% is not reimbursed. However, if you purchase No-Deductible Coverage, the remaining 30% can be effectively compensated through this insurance. 3. Third-Party Commercial Liability Insurance: This insurance generally covers situations where the policyholder causes damage to another vehicle and is responsible for repair costs. In such cases, this insurance proves its value. Even when repairing someone else's car, having this insurance allows for compensation through the insurance claim process.

What Are the Pros and Cons of 21-Inch Wheels?

Here is an introduction to the pros and cons of 21-inch wheels: 1. Cons: On roads with mud pits, stones, or steel plates, 21-inch tires with large wheels and thin sidewalls are prone to blowouts, and the ride tends to be bumpier compared to smaller wheels. The overall elasticity of 21-inch tires is poor, making it harder to absorb and filter out vehicle vibrations on uneven roads. This means the thinner the tire, the higher the risk of bulging and blowouts. Additionally, 21-inch tires consume more fuel. 2. Pros: Aesthetically, upgraded 21-inch wheels look more impressive and offer a premium feel, meeting the demands of car owners. In terms of driving, they enhance handling performance by increasing wheel width, resulting in noticeable improvements in acceleration, braking, and cornering responsiveness. Drivers can feel a significant difference, whether accelerating from a standstill or during motion, as the car feels noticeably lighter and more agile.

How to Distinguish Car Classes?

Car classes are generally divided into six levels: A00, A0, A, B, C, and D. They can also be classified by engine displacement: micro cars (displacement below 1L), subcompact cars (displacement 1.0~1.6L), compact cars (displacement 1.6~2.5L), mid-size cars (displacement 2.5~4.0L), and full-size cars (displacement above 4L). Here is additional information on car classes: 1. A00 refers to micro passenger vehicles, A0 to small passenger vehicles, A to compact passenger vehicles, B to mid-size passenger vehicles, C to full-size passenger vehicles, and D to large passenger vehicles. 2. The classification is mainly based on parameters such as wheelbase, engine displacement, and weight. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the longer the wheelbase, the larger the displacement and weight, and the higher the luxury level of the passenger vehicle.

What are the reasons for the barrier gate not lowering?

The reasons for the barrier gate not lowering include the triple button being set to manual mode, the ground sense processor of the barrier gate crashing, issues with the ground sense coil, failure of the barrier gate's mainboard, or interference from other peripherals. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Measures: Set the triple button to automatic mode; check if the OUTPUT indicator light on the ground sense processor of the barrier gate is flashing green rapidly; restart the barrier gate's power supply to see if it returns to normal. If not, replace the ground sense processor, measure the continuity of the ground sense coil; replace the barrier gate's mainboard for testing; disconnect and test the wiring to the card reader. 2. No response when the card reader is powered on: Check the two power supplies (12V and 24V) separately, see if the power indicator light on the card reader's mainboard is lit, and check for any burned or overheating electronic components.

Can You Drive Through a Yellow Light?

A yellow light allows passage; as long as the vehicle crosses the stop line before the red light turns on, it will not be penalized. Below is additional relevant information: 1. Classification of traffic signals: motor vehicle signals, non-motor vehicle signals, pedestrian crossing signals, directional indicator signals (arrow signals), lane signals, flashing warning signals, and railway crossing signals. 2. Relevant regulations: The yellow light primarily serves as a warning. According to regulations, if a vehicle has already crossed the stop line when the yellow light appears, it can continue forward. Vehicles that have not crossed the stop line must stop and wait for the green light. A common issue occurs when drivers are approaching the stop line at normal speed and the yellow light suddenly turns on, making it too late to brake—this situation is considered running a red-yellow light. If the driver chooses to stop, it will not be treated as running a red light, but since the vehicle stops in the intersection, it will still incur a penalty of two demerit points.
