No, you cannot drive without insurance. The mandatory insurance that must be purchased for a car is the Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance, commonly known as the compulsory insurance, which is a state-mandated auto insurance. Types of car insurance: 1. Compulsory insurance: This is a mandatory insurance in China and is a type of coverage that all vehicles must purchase. 2. Third-party liability insurance: Since the compensation amount of the compulsory insurance is limited, purchasing third-party liability insurance can cover the portion that exceeds the compulsory insurance's compensation limit. 3. No-deductible insurance: This is an independent basic insurance type, while no-deductible insurance is an additional coverage for cars. 4. Vehicle damage insurance: Vehicle damage insurance is undoubtedly the most comprehensive necessary insurance type, covering damages such as collisions, scratches, and water damage, all of which can be compensated by the insurance company.

From my years of driving experience, you should never drive a car without insurance. In most places, car insurance is legally mandatory, such as compulsory traffic insurance which is a must. If you drive without insurance and get caught by traffic police, not only will you be fined hundreds to thousands of yuan, but your driver's license may also be penalized with points or temporarily suspended. More seriously, in case of an accident, no insurance means you'll have to cover all the compensation costs personally. Even a minor scratch could cost you tens of thousands, potentially bankrupting you. I know a friend who skipped buying insurance to save money, ended up rear-ending another car, had to pay for the repairs, and even got sued, which completely ruined his life. So, every time I service my car, I check if the insurance policy is expired. Before hitting the road, I remind myself never to joke about safety. Buying insurance isn't just about passing inspections—it's about adding a layer of protection for yourself and others on the road.

What are the effects of high parking circuit air pressure?

High parking circuit air pressure requires checking whether the sensor is malfunctioning. Below is an introduction to automatic parking: 1. Introduction: Simply put, the function of automatic parking technology is to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward, which is particularly useful on slopes and during frequent starts and stops. 2. Technology: Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the brake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope. The automatic parking system can provide precise parking force through the slope sensor controlled by the system. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.

What are the key reference points in Subject 2 of the driving test?

Subject 2 of the driving test involves several key reference points: the engine hood reference points, the lower edge of the rearview mirror, the student's shoulder, the rear wheels, and the parking control line. Engine hood reference points: The five key points on the engine hood are the left vertex, the left 1/3 point, the midpoint, the right 1/3 point, and the right vertex. Memorizing these five points helps accurately judge the distance between the car body and the roadside line. Lower edge of the rearview mirror: The lower edge of the rearview mirror is primarily used to determine the parking position. For example, during reverse parking, when the yellow line in front of the parking space aligns with the lower edge of the rearview mirror, the brake should be applied to stop the car; otherwise, continuing to reverse may result in crossing the line. Student's shoulder: The student's shoulder is also an important reference point. In a right-angle turn, for instance, when the student's shoulder aligns with the right corner line of the parking space, the steering wheel should be turned fully to the right to complete the turn. Rear wheels: The rear wheels on both sides of the car help the student determine whether the parking position is appropriate during reverse parking. Parking control line: During hill-start parking, exiting the parking space in reverse, and parallel parking, the student must ensure the test vehicle stops precisely at the designated parking line.

Does Parking with Air Conditioning On Consume More Fuel?

Parking with the air conditioning on does consume more fuel. Here is an introduction about fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: Constant-speed fuel consumption is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. 2. Experimental Testing: The test can be conducted on the road or on a chassis dynamometer. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is then determined using the "flow meter method" or "carbon balance method." During road tests, it is necessary to follow the standards specified in the national regulations, including test conditions, test methods, and test road selection. Test conditions include: the load of the test vehicle, the accuracy of the test instruments, fuel, tire selection, ambient temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, etc.

What does the parking brake system mean?

The parking brake system is the handbrake. The following is an introduction to the automobile braking system: 1. Introduction: The automobile braking system refers to a series of special devices that apply a certain force to certain parts of the car to enforce a certain degree of braking. 2. Classification: (1) Drum brake: Drum braking is a traditional braking method, and its working principle can be vividly compared to a coffee cup. (2) Disc brake: In recent years, vehicle speeds have been continuously increasing, and the total weight of trucks and buses has been rising. Additionally, the general lowering of car centers of gravity and the widespread use of small-diameter, wide-section tires have limited the installation positions of brakes. Therefore, disc brakes with better thermal stability are increasingly being adopted in heavy-duty trucks and cars.
