Will the ETC deduct fees without inserting the card on the highway?
1 Answers
ETC will not deduct fees without inserting the card. The device is in a dormant state when the card is not inserted, and it cannot recognize vehicle information at toll stations. This is because when passing through the ETC lane, the sensor must detect the card inserted in the OBU device to proceed with the deduction. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, to prevent issues with the front vehicle's ETC device or if it doesn’t have an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatically paying for the front vehicle. The ETC lane recognizes vehicle speed at 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, it cannot read the vehicle device information, leading to deduction failure. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause deduction failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to proceed to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card for passage.
