You can claim insurance for self-inflicted scratches on your car, but if the damage is minor and the repair costs are not too high, it is not recommended to file a claim. For self-inflicted scratches, the insurance typically used is the commercial insurance's vehicle damage coverage or scratch insurance. However, using any commercial auto insurance will affect the overall premium for the next year. Here is additional information: 1. Discounts for compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance are calculated separately. If you made a claim under compulsory traffic insurance last year but not under commercial insurance, the premium for compulsory traffic insurance will change accordingly, while commercial insurance remains unaffected and can continue to enjoy the corresponding discount. 2. If you made a claim under commercial insurance last year but not under compulsory traffic insurance, the overall premium for commercial insurance will change accordingly, while compulsory traffic insurance remains unaffected and can continue to enjoy the corresponding discount.

How to Start a Car with a Dead Battery in a Push-to-Start Vehicle?

For a push-to-start vehicle with a dead battery, the only way to start the car is by using an external power source to charge the battery. If the battery is depleted and the car cannot start normally, avoid attempting to start it repeatedly, as this can cause further damage to the battery. You can use a jump-start method to start the car. When jump-starting with another vehicle, first position the two cars close enough so that the jumper cables can connect the positive and negative terminals of both batteries. Car batteries have a limited lifespan; under normal conditions, they begin to show signs of aging after 2 to 3 years of use. The lifespan of a car battery is directly related to the driver's usage habits and maintenance practices.
