Will crossing the line trigger a photo when using ETC on the highway?

ETC is a dedicated system for highway toll calculation and payment, and currently does not have traffic management and law enforcement monitoring functions, so it does not capture vehicle violations. ETC refers to the Electronic Toll Collection system. It is currently the most advanced toll collection method for roads and bridges in the world. Relevant information about ETC is as follows: 1. Introduction: ETC is an electronic toll collection system for highways or bridges that allows for automatic tolling without stopping. 2. Working principle: The working principle of ETC involves dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted ETC electronic tag installed on the vehicle and the ETC microwave antenna in the toll station lane. It uses computer networking technology to process background settlements with banks, achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls.
I just encountered this issue the other day on the highway. Driving over the line in the ETC lane will definitely get you photographed, and in most cases, it results in a 3-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. The cameras at toll stations serve dual purposes: they identify ETC vehicles and capture traffic violations. Once, I accidentally drove over the guide line and later found the violation record on the 12123 app. Now, I always slow down in advance when approaching toll stations to keep my vehicle centered in the lane. If the car in front suddenly slows down, don’t rush to change lanes—wait a few more seconds instead. Remember, never cross the solid white line areas; getting caught is almost certain. It’s better to follow the rules on the highway—it’s safer and hassle-free.
