You can claim insurance for self-inflicted scrapes, provided that you have purchased vehicle damage insurance. The car owner should report the incident to the insurance company within 48 hours as much as possible. If it exceeds 48 hours, it is recommended to bring your original ID card to report the claim to the insurance company. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This is a type of commercial insurance, different from compulsory traffic insurance, and is not mandatory. It is entirely based on personal risk awareness and financial conditions. Compensation Situations: Vehicle damage caused by at-fault accidents such as rear-end collisions or reversing. In the event of a traffic accident where the driver is fully at fault, if vehicle damage insurance is in place, the insurance company will not only cover the repair costs of the other party's vehicle but also provide repair costs for your own vehicle. Collisions with flower beds, road signs, or other buildings or fixed objects. If the car directly hits a flower bed or other object due to driving skills without involving a third party, the insurance company will cover the repair costs if vehicle damage insurance is purchased.

How to Use the AUTO Air Conditioning Button?

Do not turn on the car air conditioning system first. The correct method is to start the engine before turning on the air conditioning when using it. For longer driving trips, it is highly recommended to use the 'AUTO' function. Once the temperature reaches a constant value, the car interior will not fluctuate between hot and cold.

How to Report a Vehicle Collision to Insurance?

When a collision occurs between vehicles, keep the scene undisturbed. Call the traffic police at 122 to report the incident. The traffic police will arrive at the scene to determine liability and issue an accident report. The at-fault party should then call their own insurance company to file a claim. Commercial auto insurance is an open policy, divided into basic coverage and additional coverage, with the latter unable to be insured independently.

How many points can be deducted for a driver's license less than one year old?

For a driver's license with less than one year of driving experience, the number of points that can be deducted varies depending on the type of license. For a Class C driver's license during the probationary period, up to 11 points (inclusive) can be deducted. If the probationary period exceeds 12 points (inclusive), the license will be revoked, and the driver must reapply for learning and testing at the vehicle management office. For Class A and B driver's licenses, up to 5 points (inclusive) can be deducted. If 6 or more points (inclusive) but less than 12 points (exclusive) are accumulated during the one-year probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. Below is relevant information: 1. Driver's license points deduction: Points deduction is a penalty for traffic violations by drivers. Based on the severity of the traffic violation, points can range from a maximum of 12 to a minimum of 1 per violation. The points cycle is one inspection period. If a driver accumulates 12 points in one cycle, the driver loses their driving privileges and must undergo no less than 7 days of traffic safety education. Driving privileges can only be restored after passing the exam. 2. Points cycle: The points cycle starts from the date the driver's license is obtained. If the points accumulated in one cycle do not reach 12 and the fines are paid before the end of the cycle, the system will automatically reset the points to zero at the start of the next cycle.
