What to Do When Towed Off the Highway with ETC?
1 Answers
In the event of a highway accident where your vehicle is towed off the highway, the tow truck typically uses the manual lane. The tow truck driver will charge the toll for both vehicles simultaneously, which means the ETC might not be scanned, resulting in no exit record. However, there's no need to worry. The next time you enter the highway via ETC or a manual lane, the system will overwrite the previous entry information. Here are some details about ETC: 1. Introduction: ETC is an electronic toll collection system for highways or bridges that allows for automatic, non-stop payment. 2. Working Principle: ETC operates through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted ETC tag and the ETC microwave antenna at the toll station lane. It utilizes computer networking technology to process transactions with the bank in the background, enabling vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees.
