Touch ‘n Go RFID not working? One angry driver has an extreme solution

 

HOW do we know if a person is having a bad day? There should be signs. But for one person, it could be something as obvious as ramming the obstacle bar at the Touch ‘n Go RFID.

According to a video post on X by #UpdateInfo, a car could be seen reversing when the gate wouldn’t open for it.

The driver behind who was recording everything with the dash cam must have expected it to reverse out.

But instead, the car did the unexpected by gathering speed and smashing its way out of the tol. From the looks of it, the driver must have gotten stuck several times at the RFID to become so frustrated.

Netizen LaPoca in a hilarious comment pointed out the abbreviation of RFID as the reason behind the driver’s behaviour.

Also, many netizens said the RFID system is not very effective, with many users being stuck when the sensor failed. 

One netizen said the RFID lane is usually slower than others as the sensor cannot capture it.

“Many people were afraid, driving slowly because maybe they are afraid the sensor could not read it, and will be insulted by the people behind,” he said.

Netizen A.M.A.D, however, said that he had no difficulty using the RFID, having adhered it to five vehicles.

 

 

What’s important is that the vehicle has to enter slowly and that the car behind does not cut in.

For those who haven’t used the Touch ‘n Go RFID, it is a sticker that is embedded with a radiofrequency chip.

Affixed to the left headlamp of a customer’s vehicle, the tags are linked to the Touch ‘n Go eWallet. 

They are used as a form of electronic payment for tolls across the country, supposedly to provide drivers a safer and hassle-free drive. 

Moving on, PisangTanduk said that if the company wanted to get more people to use the RFID, they should have increased the number of RFID lanes. Instead he observes more smart tags and TnG lanes.

As for the driver who made such a dramatic exit, we suppose he or she also made quite a statement on the effectiveness of the RFID lane. We hope Touch’n Go is paying attention. – Focus Malaysia
