Can a car be declared a total loss if driven into a river? If the motor vehicle has purchased auto damage insurance, after the vehicle is driven into a river, it can be handled through comprehensive insurance. Declaring the vehicle under comprehensive insurance means the vehicle will no longer be repaired, and the claim will be settled directly based on the insured amount, with the vehicle becoming the property of the insurance company. Here is an introduction to vehicle insurance: Motor vehicle insurance can be purchased up to three months in advance. Whether it is compulsory traffic insurance or commercial insurance, both can be purchased in advance. Purchasing motor vehicle insurance in advance can effectively avoid the situation of insurance lapse. Once a motor vehicle's insurance lapses, driving it on the road is considered illegal and is not permitted.

Is it troublesome to replace the front windshield?

Not troublesome. You can drive after 12 hours. The windshield is attached to the car body with adhesive, and since the adhesive takes a long time to cure, you need to wait until it is completely dry before moving the car after replacing the windshield. This prevents issues like misalignment of the glass, adhesive failure, or water leakage due to insufficient curing. Additionally, after the adhesive dries, it is recommended to perform a spray test to check for water leakage. Confirm there are no issues before driving the car away. Some new adhesives dry very quickly, so you can also consult the adhesive manufacturer for a more reliable time interval. In short, if you are unsure, wait a few more hours to avoid undoing all your efforts. Precautions after replacing the windshield: 1. Do not wash the car for three days after replacing the windshield. After three days, remove the tape securing the windshield. 2. Try to avoid excessively bumpy roads, sudden braking, and rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting. 3. Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the front windshield and the dashboard. 4. Avoid high-speed driving. Keep the maximum speed below 80 kilometers per hour. 5. Do not play movies for seven days. 6. Do not open the windows while driving for three days after replacing the rear windshield to prevent the rear windshield from shifting due to wind pressure.
