Compulsory traffic insurance for vehicles can be purchased in another location. Here are the relevant considerations: 1. Fill in truthfully: When applying for insurance, the policyholder should truthfully fill out the application form, inform the insurance company of important matters, and provide copies of the vehicle's registration certificate and driver's license. 2. Pay the full premium at once: When signing the compulsory traffic insurance contract, the policyholder should pay the full premium in one lump sum. No additional conditions beyond the insurance terms and premium rates should be requested from the insurance company. 3. Display the insurance mark: The insurance mark should be placed on the insured vehicle. 4. Timely procedures: During the validity period of the insurance contract, if the insured vehicle undergoes modifications, additions, or changes in usage that increase the risk level, the insured should promptly notify the insurance company and complete the endorsement procedures.

I often encounter the issue of purchasing compulsory car insurance from a different location. As an experienced car owner, I can confidently say that it's entirely possible to buy compulsory insurance from another region. Compulsory insurance, such as compulsory traffic insurance, is a nationally unified policy with no geographical restrictions—it's valid across the country. After moving from Beijing to Guangzhou, I renewed my policy remotely through the insurance company's official website. The process was straightforward: after submitting the required documents online, the policy was issued immediately. There are many benefits to purchasing insurance remotely, especially for car owners who frequently relocate. It saves the hassle of traveling back and forth, and the price remains fixed regardless of location. However, it's important to note that in the event of a claim, you'll need to contact the underwriting company by phone or visit a local branch. For example, when I had a minor accident in Guangzhou, I directly contacted the insurance company, and the issue was resolved quickly. Nowadays, with the widespread use of electronic policies, the process is even more convenient for annual inspections. Still, I recommend double-checking all details in advance to avoid errors that could delay vehicle use. In summary, purchasing insurance from a different location is both legal and cost-effective—adopting it early brings peace of mind sooner.

Here are the details: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The structure of the test question bank and basic question types are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, and the traffic management departments of provincial public security authorities establish the test question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. Subject 2: Field driving skills test. The test items include: reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving on a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving on a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. Subject 3: Road driving skills test. The basic test items include: preparing to start, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, pulling over, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge. The test items include: knowledge related to safe and civilized driving. Before learning to drive, you should also undergo a physical examination, as follows: Physical examination items as stipulated in Article 11 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": Height: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybuses must be at least 155 cm tall. Applicants for medium-sized buses must be at least 150 cm tall. Vision: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart.

Applicants for manual transmission vehicles must have a leg length difference of no more than 5 cm. Applicants for automatic transmission vehicles must have a sound right lower limb. Torso and neck: No movement dysfunction. Notes: Each test subject has two attempts. If both attempts fail, you must reschedule the next test, usually with a 10-day interval. The test validity period is three years, meaning you must complete all tests within three years after passing Subject 1. Otherwise, the previous test results will be automatically invalidated, and you will need to reapply to a driving school.

How many points are deducted for making a U-turn over double solid yellow lines?

Making a U-turn over double solid lines is a traffic violation. According to Article 93 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, violators will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 penalty points. On long roads, solid white lines are usually present in the middle section or before intersections. If the lines are yellow dashed or white dashed, U-turns are allowed. However, U-turns are strictly prohibited over any solid lines. Permissible U-turn situations: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, U-turns are allowed. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make a U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. U-turns are allowed at intersections without explicit "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs: If there are no signs explicitly prohibiting U-turns, you can perform a U-turn. "No explicit prohibition" means the intersection lacks signs like "No U-turn," "No Left Turn," or solid center lines. In such cases, U-turns are permitted. U-turns are also allowed over yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important facility entrances, or other designated areas. Stopping on these grid lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. Although parking is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed as long as there are no central barriers. Yellow grid lines without barriers are equivalent to "U-turn permitted." Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn traffic light, follow it. U-turns are only allowed when the light is green. When "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Permitted" signs appear together: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings. If the lines are solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign ahead, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign. This is because U-turns and left turns involve similar movements, and a U-turn always requires a left turn first. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Perform the maneuver only if it does not interfere with the normal flow of traffic. Otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes usually have guiding arrows for vehicle direction. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow. If a straight arrow is present, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs. U-turns are not allowed on pedestrian crosswalks and are considered traffic violations.

Why is the production capacity of BYD DM-i unable to meet demand?

Introduction to the reasons why BYD DM-i production capacity cannot keep up: 1. The powertrain and dedicated Blade Battery for DM-i models require specialized production lines, but establishing/renovating production lines requires capital and time; 2. Limited by the supply of components from suppliers. The Xiaoyun powertrain used in DM-i models and the dedicated Blade Battery require independent production lines, which cannot be met through simple adjustments of existing production lines (pure electric or DM-p model production lines). Therefore, BYD must establish new production lines or renovate existing ones to meet production supply.
