People who travel frequently on the highway should know that the toll booths on the highway can be particularly crowded during long holidays or during rush hour. That's where the importance of ETC comes into play. If you have already set up ETC before, you will save a lot of trouble and a lot of time by going through the highway toll booth.
Similarly, there are many drivers who are unable to use the highway multiple times throughout the year. So is it necessary to apply for ETC?Today we will talk about the pros and cons of installing ETC in detail, I hope it will be helpful to you. How do I apply and cancel ETC?ETC is an abbreviation for the no-stop toll system. Tolls can be deducted by automatic identification when passing through toll booths.
It can improve the efficiency of car owners passing through the toll station, and can also save the working time and cost of the toll station. ETC devices can be charged without connecting an additional power source. After getting the ETC, it can be installed directly behind the windshield of the car. ETC generally relies on solar energy to charge the battery. If the battery fails, it cannot operate and needs to be replaced in time.
ETC application: The application process is relatively simple. Remember to bring your ID card, driver's license, and bank card, and go to the bank branch on behalf of ETC to consult and apply, and fill in the application form. Cancel ETC: Some banks offer ** cancellation service. Just call and follow the customer service prompts to cancel.
Bring your driver's license, ID card, ETC card, and bound bank card to the bank branch for cancellation. Bring the above relevant documents to the ETC management office for refund. High-speed ETC has many advantages over manual charging. The first advantage is the shorter charging time. Manual charging takes 30 to 1 minute, and you need to stop and wait.
ETC charging takes only 5 to 10 seconds without stopping. All you need to do is keep your speed within 20 km/h. The second advantage is convenience. In the early days, labor charges were paid in cash, and you had to bring your own change on the car. Some careless drivers have to borrow money because they forgot to bring money, which is very embarrassing.
If you use ETC, you can directly deduct the money from the ETC card, or you can pass it first and pay later, which is more convenient. The third advantage is that high-speed billing is more accurate. In the early days, manual card issuance charges were calculated based on the longest distance from the entrance to the exit. After using ETC, the ETC gantry arranged every tens of kilometers on the highway will record the driving trajectory of the vehicle, making the billing more accurate.
The fourth benefit is that you don't have to worry about being charged overtime again. When we manually issued cards and charged them, we were tired from driving and wanted to sleep in the service area before leaving, but we were worried about overtime. Disadvantages of ETC: ETC is bound to a bank card, which is troublesome to pay.
etc by the bank**. If you want to apply for ETC, you must first apply for a bank's debit card. You can use it directly if you have it. If not, you'll have to open a new card. ETC needs to be bound to a bank card (not a charge card), which is very troublesome. Nowadays, almost everyone has a lot of bank cards.
If ETC has to get a card, it is equivalent to an extra card. Moreover, the bank card bound to ETC must be a local bank card, and the card from other places cannot be, which is super troublesome. When you buy a new car or change your license plate number, the ETC becomes invalid. In addition to binding a unique bank card, ETC is also bound to a unique frame number and license plate number.
That is to say, if you buy a new car, the original ETC cannot be used, and if the license plate is changed, the original ETC cannot be used, which is super troublesome. If you buy a new car or change the license plate number and still want to use ETC, you have to re-apply and bind the bank card, the frame number and license plate number of the new car, which is very inhumane.
To sum up, it can be said that it is necessary to apply for ETC or not. For driver friends, there are many benefits to applying for ETC. Not only is the transportation convenient, but also saves money and effort. Of course, everything is included. It has two aspects, each with its pros and cons. The use of ETC can lead to incorrect deductions, difficulty in reporting invoices, and sometimes even the risk of being swiped. So, how you weigh the pros and cons depends on your choice. Hold it in your hand, what do you want?
