You can claim insurance for self-inflicted scratches while reversing, provided you have purchased vehicle damage insurance; this coverage is designed to cover repairs to your own vehicle when you are at fault. Vehicle insurance, also known as motor vehicle insurance or auto insurance, refers to a type of commercial insurance that compensates for personal injuries or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. Auto insurance is a form of property insurance and is relatively new in the field of property insurance, as it emerged and developed alongside the advent and popularization of automobiles. Unlike modern motor vehicle insurance, early auto insurance primarily focused on third-party liability coverage and gradually expanded to include risks such as collision damage to the vehicle body. Commercial insurance is an indeterminate-value insurance, divided into basic coverage and additional coverage, with the latter not being available as standalone insurance. Basic coverage includes third-party liability insurance and vehicle damage insurance; additional coverage includes comprehensive theft insurance (theft coverage), onboard liability insurance, no-fault liability insurance, cargo drop liability insurance, standalone glass breakage insurance, vehicle downtime loss insurance, spontaneous combustion loss insurance, new equipment loss insurance, and deductible waiver insurance.

How many tons of vehicles can a 10 cm thick cement road bear?

No more than 10 tons. It depends on the bearing capacity of the compacted soil layer. The concrete cushion can bear 400 kg/m²; if it is on the ground, it can bear 1000 kg/m². The bearing capacity of a 10 cm thick concrete ground mainly depends on the compacted soil layer's bearing capacity. Generally, a 10 cm concrete cushion can bear 400 kg/m². Types of concrete: Heavy concrete: Heavy concrete usually refers to concrete with a surface density greater than 2600 kg/m³. This type of concrete is made using high-density aggregates or heavy cement (such as barium cement, strontium cement, etc.) and is mainly used as radiation shielding structural materials in nuclear engineering, hence it is also called radiation shielding concrete. Ordinary concrete: Ordinary concrete refers to concrete with a surface density between 2000-2600 kg/m³. This concrete uses cement as the cementitious material, combined with natural sand, stone, and other materials. It is the most commonly used cement concrete in current engineering construction. Lightweight concrete: Lightweight concrete usually refers to concrete with a surface density less than 1950 kg/m³. This type of concrete is mainly made using lightweight porous materials such as ceramsite, or by incorporating aerating agents or foaming agents to create a porous structure. Based on its application, lightweight concrete can be further divided into thermal insulation lightweight concrete and structural thermal insulation lightweight concrete.

Can a vehicle be scrapped without the green title?

A vehicle without the green title cannot be scrapped. If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the owner of the vehicle should apply for a replacement at the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered. When applying, the vehicle owner must fill out an application form and submit proof of identity. For a replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle must also be inspected. The following documents are required for applying for a replacement motor vehicle registration certificate: Application form: Original copy of the 'Motor Vehicle Driving License Application Form'. Proof of identity: Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof. If the vehicle owner is a company, the original and photocopy of the agent's identity proof and the original written authorization from the vehicle owner are also required. Inspection record: Original copy of the 'Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form'.

What Are the Basic Knowledge Points About Tires?

Tire basics are as follows: Tire Size: The tire size is printed on the sidewall and is represented in two ways: High-pressure tires are generally denoted by "tire diameter × tire section width," such as 34×7; low-pressure tires are usually represented by "section width ~ rim diameter," such as 7.5~20, with the unit in inches (1in=0.0254m). Replacement Standard: According to technical standards, tires should be replaced when the tread grooves are less than 1.6mm. If the wear indicators on the tread grooves are exposed, it indicates that the groove depth is insufficient at 1.6mm. The tire wear indicators are the raised sections within the tread grooves. Using tires with remaining tread depth below 1.6mm may result in sudden loss of traction and braking force in rainy conditions, as well as a complete lack of traction in snowy conditions.

What is the standard size of a compact car?

There is no standard size for compact cars, as the body dimensions vary depending on the vehicle class. Even within the same class, body sizes can differ significantly. Generally, higher-class vehicles have larger dimensions, higher displacement, and better configurations. Currently, passenger cars are classified into six levels: A00, A0, A, B, C, and D. Typically, the length of an average family compact car ranges between 3800mm and 4300mm, the width between 1600mm and 1800mm, and the height between 1400mm and 1600mm.

Does a Rear-End Collision Count as an Accident Vehicle?

Only the bumper is damaged: Clearly, this is just a minor traffic accident where only the bumper and sheet metal parts are affected, so it does not qualify as an accident vehicle. It's worth mentioning that even if the rear bumper is replaced, it still does not count as an accident vehicle, and the same applies to the front bumper. Slight deformation of the rear panel: If the rear panel is deformed due to impact, the rear bumper is certainly ruined. If the deformation of the rear panel can be repaired through hammering and frame traction, it does not qualify as an accident vehicle. However, if the rear panel requires cutting, welding, or replacement, then it can be classified as an accident vehicle. Rear deformation affecting the suspension: Without a doubt, if a rear-end collision impacts the suspension, it must be a very severe impact. Components such as the rear bumper, rear panel, spare tire well, and trunk lid are likely to be deformed, so it definitely qualifies as an accident vehicle.

What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Opening the Car Door?

The reasons for the squeaking sound when opening the car door are: 1. The door hinge may have rusted or deformed due to prolonged use. After cleaning the surface dirt from the door hinge, limit arm, limit pin shaft, and connecting bracket, you can apply specialized lubricating oil appropriately; 2. It could be due to loosening or deformation of the internal window regulator causing the noise; 3. It might also be caused by the door trim panel not being securely fixed or the fastening clips falling off. The door and the car body are connected via hinges, and it is normal for hinges to produce noise after prolonged use. To ensure the pulley remains smooth and quiet for a long time, you can apply lubricating oil every 2 to 3 months for maintenance. Additionally, some cars with relatively ordinary assembly processes may have door limiters that are prone to deformation, leading to squeaking sounds, which can only be repaired or replaced at a service center.
