Motorcycles can be parked in motor vehicle parking spaces. The full name of the parking space is motor vehicle parking space, and any motor vehicle recognized by the state can park there. Motorcycles are also a type of motor vehicle, and as long as they have legal license plates, they can be parked in these spaces. However, motorcycles are usually parked together with non-motor vehicles such as electric bicycles. Additional information: Motor vehicles should be parked in designated areas: parking motor vehicles on sidewalks is prohibited. When temporarily parking on the road, it must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Note: Many places with high pedestrian flow and frequent commercial activities have above-ground or underground multi-level parking lots to save space. Along urban-planned roads or in open areas, parking spaces are generally marked to provide convenience for drivers. However, parking in unmarked areas within the city may be considered illegal parking, and law enforcement authorities can impose fines.

I've been riding motorcycles for many years and often park in the city, usually in motor vehicle parking spaces, as the law stipulates that motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles, just like cars. However, in practice, it depends on the specific parking lot rules—some paid parking facilities may restrict usage to cars only, so it's best to check for signs or ask the attendant before parking. I've encountered some parking lots that don't allow motorcycles, likely due to concerns about space efficiency or safety issues. In such cases, you'll need to find designated motorcycle parking or legal roadside areas. Overall, when parking, ensure your bike is straight and stable, avoid occupying two spaces to inconvenience others, and always lock it to prevent theft. It's a good habit to regularly check local traffic regulations, as policies may vary by city—for example, some places allow free parking in car spaces but require payment during peak hours, etc.

As an ordinary car owner, I believe it's feasible for motorcycles to park in regular vehicle spaces, since traffic laws classify them as motor vehicles. When driving, I often see motorcycles parked in car spaces without issues, as long as rules are followed. From a practical perspective, motorcycle parking does save more space—one car space can accommodate two or three motorcycles, which helps alleviate parking shortages. However, safety details should be noted, such as avoiding parking on curves or fire lanes to prevent towing. Additionally, paid parking lots may require extra confirmation, as some systems might have different charging methods, potentially leading to disputes. I recommend that owners refer to local policies when parking and accumulate practical tips, such as prioritizing formal parking lots to minimize hassle.

Is it harmful if the trunk gets soaked in water?

The trunk being soaked in water can cause harm, such as rusting of the trunk and dampness or mold in the car's interior. Below is relevant information about the vehicle trunk: Maintenance: Keep the trunk clean. Properly use the mesh pockets on both sides. Most cars come equipped with these to store items that may roll around, such as flashlights or small fire extinguishers. They don't take up much space, but it's not advisable to pile them together, as they may fall out of the mesh pockets due to bumps during driving. Precautions: Avoid flammable or explosive items. The car interior is a relatively enclosed space, and in summer, the temperature inside can become very high after being exposed to the sun. Flammable or explosive items stored in the trunk may spontaneously combust or explode due to the high temperature.

Are All Flood-Damaged Cars Scrapped?

Not all flood-damaged cars are scrapped. A vehicle is only scrapped when the repair costs reach 70% or more of the vehicle's actual value, but this situation is relatively rare. Below is an introduction to flood-damaged cars: Definition: "Flood-damaged cars" refer to vehicles that were parked in underground garages or low-lying areas and could not be moved in time by their owners due to heavy rain, resulting in prolonged submersion in water. Precautions: For water-damaged vehicles (without ignition), the most significant impact might be electrical issues. Electrical problems cannot be completely repaired, and the repaired circuits may malfunction within as little as 3 months or as long as a year or more. Specific symptoms include the illumination of warning lights without actual faults, headlights turning on unexpectedly, and other power-related issues.

Is it necessary to install a trunk partition?

Installing a trunk partition is highly recommended as it can prevent items in the trunk from hitting the passenger seats during a traffic accident, thereby avoiding secondary damage. Below is relevant information about trunk partitions: Trunk Partition: Most hatchbacks, SUVs, and some MPV models come with a trunk partition as an original factory accessory. The vehicle will have a pre-installation position reserved for it after leaving the factory. It not only enhances the privacy and security of luggage but also clearly separates the trunk from the cabin. Precautions: Before driving, ensure that miscellaneous items are properly placed in the trunk, secured, and effectively separated using the trunk partition.

Can Insurance Cover Flooded Vehicles?

Flooded vehicles can be compensated as long as comprehensive insurance (vehicle damage insurance) is purchased. According to the relevant insurance clauses, vehicle losses caused by general natural disasters such as rainstorms, floods, landslides, and mudslides fall under the coverage of comprehensive insurance in commercial auto insurance, and the insurance company will provide compensation. It is important to note that there are two situations where claims may be rejected: If the engine stalls during driving through water and the driver forcibly restarts it, leading to engine damage from water ingress, the insurance company may refuse to compensate. Therefore, if the vehicle stalls in water, never attempt to restart it. Additionally, if the driver knowingly drives through severe flooding, causing engine damage, the insurance company will not cover the loss. It is especially important to note that if the owner has neither comprehensive insurance nor additional water damage coverage, all financial losses will be borne by the owner, with no compensation available. After a vehicle is flooded, the owner should not attempt to start the engine or drive through water. Instead, the owner should immediately call the insurance company to report the situation. If possible, evidence such as photos should be taken to document the scene. The owner should cooperate with the insurance company’s personnel during the inspection and prepare the required claim documents, submitting them to the insurance company for review. Once approved, the insurance company will notify the owner of the claim result, and the owner can then await compensation.

Will Insurance Cover Flood-Damaged Vehicles?

As long as you have purchased water-related insurance, the insurance company will provide compensation. Below is relevant information about water-damaged and flood-soaked vehicles: Different concepts: A water-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically involving the engine and transmission being soaked, with water depth exceeding the wheels and body seats, and prolonged contact between the vehicle's bottom components and water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical circuits are prone to short circuits and fires. A 'flood-soaked vehicle' refers to cars that, due to heavy rain, were parked in underground garages or low-lying areas and could not be moved in time by the owners, resulting in prolonged soaking by accumulated water. Different levels of water ingress: A water-damaged vehicle refers to a car directly submerged in water, with water depth exceeding one-third of the wheel height. In reality, both wading and submersion affect the vehicle, with the extent of damage depending on the water depth. A flood-soaked vehicle has undergone prolonged soaking, with water ingress exceeding that of a water-damaged vehicle.

Will Putting 200 Jin in the Trunk Damage the Car?

Putting 200 jin in the trunk will not damage the car. Below is relevant information about car trunks: Introduction: The car trunk is sealed because it uses sealing strips to prevent water intrusion, similar to refrigerator seals, so air can hardly escape from the trunk. Function: The elastic net in the trunk can be used to secure fragile items. Almost every car trunk is equipped with an elastic net. If there are fewer items in the trunk, placing fragile items can be troublesome as they may roll around. In this case, the elastic net can help secure them. The trunk partition can create a relatively hidden and secure space in the trunk, which is very practical. Generally, many cars do not come with this partition, but it can be installed later. Of course, it is more common in SUV models. The car manufacturer usually reserves a position for it, making installation convenient.
