Vehicle insurance, also known as auto insurance, refers to a type of commercial insurance that covers personal injury or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. For small chips on the windshield caused by stones, the insurance company will only compensate if the owner has purchased standalone glass breakage coverage. If only vehicle damage insurance is purchased, the loss must be borne by the owner. The following are the main types of auto insurance: Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance; Third-Party Liability Insurance; Vehicle Damage Insurance; Theft Insurance. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (Mandatory by Law): This is a compulsory liability insurance stipulated by the "Regulations on Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles." It provides compensation by the insurance company for personal injury or property damage to victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. Motor vehicles that do not participate in the Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance cannot be registered by the motor vehicle administration department, nor can they be inspected by motor vehicle safety inspection agencies. Third-Party Liability Insurance (Main Coverage): This covers the direct property loss and personal injury to a third party caused by an accident involving the insured vehicle while being used by a qualified driver. The insurer is responsible for compensating the economic liability that the insured is legally obligated to bear. Vehicle Damage Insurance (Main Coverage): This covers the loss of the insured vehicle itself caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of insurance liability. The insurer compensates according to the terms of the insurance contract. This coverage is the opposite of third-party liability insurance, as the latter insures others, while vehicle damage insurance covers the insured's own vehicle. Theft Insurance (Main Coverage): If the vehicle is usually parked in a secure parking lot and the commute does not involve particularly secluded areas, one might consider not purchasing theft insurance. However, for vehicles in areas with poor security, without fixed parking spaces, or for models that are common and have high theft rates, theft insurance is highly recommended.

What Causes the Jerking Sensation When Letting Off the Throttle?

Here are the reasons for the jerking sensation when letting off the throttle: Poor coordination between throttle and clutch: If the throttle and clutch are not properly coordinated during gear shifting, the vehicle may exhibit noticeable sudden deceleration followed by sudden acceleration, which is the most obvious form of 'jerking sensation.' However, in automatic transmissions, since the gear shifts are controlled by the computer, theoretically, it should be smoother. But due to the structure of the transmission, the severity of the jerking sensation varies in automatic vehicles. Fuel octane rating issue: You can perform some simple checks yourself, such as whether the wrong fuel was added. This is a possibility because using lower octane fuel may result in sluggish acceleration, leading to reduced engine power and increased fuel consumption.

What lights to use when overtaking vehicles at night?

When overtaking vehicles at night, you need to alternate between high beams and low beams. Here are some precautions for night driving: 1. After starting at night: According to road conditions and visibility, switch to high beams when the road permits. The prerequisite is that there are no oncoming vehicles or vehicles with high beams on in the opposite lane. 2. During night driving: When the speed is below 30 km/h, low beams should be used, which normally illuminate beyond 30 meters. When approaching an intersection, slow down 50-100 meters before the intersection, switch from high beams to low beams, and activate the turn signal to indicate the direction of travel. When an oncoming vehicle is within 150 meters, switch from high beams to low beams to avoid obstructing the vision of the opposing driver.

What is the Normal Fuel Consumption for City Driving?

Generally speaking, a fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 kilometers is considered normal for city driving. The fuel consumption of a car is related to the driver's habits. Here are some bad driving habits that can lead to higher fuel consumption: Increasing vehicle weight: Every additional weight on the vehicle will correspondingly increase fuel consumption. Excessive decoration or using the trunk as a storage room are factors that can increase fuel consumption. Not filling up the tank: Frequent refueling leads to inconsistent fuel quality in the tank, which can cause incomplete combustion in the engine, affecting performance and fuel consumption. Improper use of brakes and accelerator: The cost of sudden braking or stopping is 2-3 times higher fuel consumption compared to driving at a constant speed. The optimal 'economical driving speed' for most cars is maintaining between 60-90 kilometers per hour.
