Will Speeding with ETC Result in Points Deduction?
1 Answers
Speeding with ETC may result in points deduction under certain circumstances. The specific regulations are as follows: If a vehicle is driven at a speed exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%, only a warning will be issued without points deduction or fines. If the speed exceeds the limit by 10% but less than 20%, 3 points will be deducted. If the speed exceeds the limit by 20% but less than 30%, 6 points will be deducted. Exceeding the speed limit by 50% will result in a 12-point deduction and revocation of the driver's license. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to prevent automatic payment for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device is faulty or nonexistent. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 km/h. Speeding may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to payment failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will render the tag invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the detachment is not due to human error, reactivation is sufficient. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause payment failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane for payment via cash or card. Excessively thick windshield glass may cause poor signal reception. This is especially important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or modified front windshields.
